Why Do Things Look Darker When They’re Wet?

<div class="featured-img"><img src="https://ece.ncsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Untitled.png" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt=""></div>Ever wondered why things look darker when wet? NC State ECE professor and optics expert Michael Kudenov explains it's due to total internal reflection, where water's refractive index causes light to reflect back rather than pass through, making surfaces like wet concrete or damp clothing appear darker.
