Curving the Trajectory of Light in Refraction Index Gradients

This work seeks to present an investigation about the trajectories followed by rays of light passing through refractive index gradients that was entirely carried by high school students. Such trajectories are curved, therefore contradicting the common sense that light should always travel along stra...
