What is Subsurface Scattering?

In this episode, we take a look at light that has penetrated an object's surface but re-emerges at a different point.

1:47 I should point out that if you shine a light under your nails, the light will reappear again from your nails. The proximal and medial phalanges, which absorbs light much more than skin, fat, and nails, make almost the entire width of the finger. But the distal phalange isn't so big (except for the thumb) so light can scatter around the bone and into the nail. Which is why shining a light onto the underside of your nail produces a bright pinkish-red color.
