Answer:
Pencil appears bent in water because of the refraction of light rays.
Explanation:
The change in direction or bending of a light wave passing from one transparent medium to another; caused by the change in wave’s speed is known as “Refraction”.
Water is denser than air and so when light passes from rarer medium (air) to denser medium (water), the object looks slightly bent..
