This morning I had a fun moment when I discovered that sunlight reflected inside the dustbin in my office formed a very nice #caustic that is practically the classic schoolbook example of spherical #aberration. I sent the pictures to my office mate, who incidentally teaches ray #optics and we were amused about it with other colleagues this afternoon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_aberration #physics #rayoptics
