Answer:
Refraction of light
Explanation:
When we immerse a pencil partially into the water it seems to be bent at the point where it touches the water's surface. This happens because of the refraction property of the light. Refraction of the light takes place when the light travels through the medium of two different density. Since there is a difference in the density of the water and air, so when we immerse pencil partially into the water, then that pencil will seem bent because of refraction of light.
