Refraction of light and liquid-propellant rocket engine: what they have in common
- Step 1. Refraction of light — is used in — Camera obscura. A lens makes the image sharper; the camera obscura itself works because light travels in straight lines.
- Step 2. Camera obscura — evolved into — Camera. A camera is a camera obscura with a light-sensitive layer.
- Step 3. Camera — is part of — Bubble chamber. Photographing the tracks.
- Step 4. Bubble chamber — is made of — Hydrogen. The working medium is superheated liquid hydrogen.
- Step 5. Hydrogen — is used in — Liquid-propellant rocket engine. Hydrogen is an efficient fuel.
