  2. Caustic (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caustic_(optics)

    Some examples of 3D ray-traced caustics can be found here. The focus of most computer graphics systems is aesthetics rather than physical accuracy . This is especially true when it comes to real-time graphics in computer games [ 8 ] where generic pre-calculated textures are mostly used instead of physically correct calculations.

    It is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid at room temperature. The broadly used term lime connotes calcium-containing inorganic compounds, in which carbonates, oxides, and hydroxides of calcium, silicon, magnesium, aluminium, and iron predominate. By contrast, quicklime specifically applies to the single compound calcium oxide.
