Snell's window is a phenomenon that occurs at the interface between two different media, particularly when light passes from water to air. It is named after the Dutch scientist Willebrord Snell, who formulated Snell's Law, which describes how light bends when it enters a different medium. When light travels from water (which has a higher refractive index) to air (which has a lower refractive index), it bends away from the normal line at the point of incidence.
