Fermat’s Principle of Least Time Predicts Refraction of Ant Trails at Substrate Borders
Fermat’s principle of least time states that light rays passing through different media follow the fastest (and not the most direct) path between two points, leading to refraction at medium borders. Humans intuitively employ this rule, e.g., when a lifeguard has to infer the fastest way to traverse...
