EVERYONE has seen the changing patterns of bright caustic lines traced on the sea bed or on the bottom of a swimming pool1,2. The caustics are formed when sunlight is focused after refraction by smooth waves on the water surface; similar caustics can result from reflection. Here we draw attention to one feature of these patterns: the frequent occurrence of junctions at which three caustics appear to meet (Fig. 1).
