HEYA HERE IS UR ANSWER____________The pencil immersed in water apper bent and short due to refraction of light.
Refraction of light in water. When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.
