Hello everyone,
I recently encountered that dreaded moment when walking where you get a face full of an seemingly invisible spider web. It got me thinking about why these webs are so difficult for humans to distinguish; unless of course we see them at the correct angle. Do they somehow bend light to make them indistinguishable from their surroundings?
Note: I'd enjoy hearing about how this material interacts with light, and the physics behind why this material or any material like it is so difficult to see.
thanks,
