Question

A pencil appears bent when dipped partically in abreaker dipped partially in a breaker containing water .​

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]As you sight at the portion of the pencil that was submerged in the water, light travels from water to air (or from water to glass to air). This light ray changes medium and subsequently undergoes refraction. As a result, the image of the pencil appears to be broken[tex]

Explanation:

⊕A pencil looks bent in water because of a phenomenon called refraction. When light enters water, it cannot move as fast as it does in air. As light enters water at an angle, it bends away from its original path, and this makes the image look bent.
