Why is everyone so interested in the pig??? This makes no sense!

Enda,
I picked one of these up in the toy section of Debenhams in Mahon pt in Cork last year for 5 Euro (a smaller version admittedly, but 'twas a great deal!).
Dunno if they still have them, but it's worth a try!
Brian.

Hi noel,
Any idea if you can get these in Ireland? Unfortunately they wont give me a credit card yet!!
Enda.

Bingo! Impressive isn't it?
btw it's reflection rather than refraction above (sorry, just the teacher in me :) ).
Remember you can purchase these from teachersourcedotcom. It makes a great present.

Hi Enda,
I'm pretty sure Lennox do them. give them a call at 01 4552201.
If no joy get back to me.

Very impressive...so in physics there is no way for light to reflect off of light...say laser light being condensed and uniform photons, more energetic wave length...being struck by a less energetic light source albeit a laser there would be no results "reflection"?...thinking particle/wave qualities if i cast a stone in a pond then a second in a new location there is a new wave created in a new direction...less there is cancelation...see my point?

Yes you do have a point; you can indeed get interference between two light sources, it's just not likely to be a factor in explaining the phenonema above. Interence would be most noticeable if both sources were single wavelength (like from a laser as you suggest) but in this case normal sunlight or flashlight incorporates many different wavelengths.

yes. I wasnt refering to the pig example. I was thinking more on photonic physics possibilities. Interesting so light can cause interference with other light if both sources were single wavelengths...Where would I begin to look if I wanted to put together an equation explaining or that already explains what would happen in light on light interference where single wavelength sources are involved?
