What happen to light passes from air to water?
As a ray of light travels from the air to water, refraction occurs. This is because the light has entered a medium where its speed is different. The light is bent towards the normal as the edge of the ray that first touches the water is slowed. Picture yourself driving a car when you drive through a puddle on the right edge of the road. The right tire enters the puddle and, since it can't travel as swiftly in water, it slows, causing the car to turn slightly to the right.
What happens to a ray of light as it is reflected off a mirror and into a glass of water?
When a ray of light is reflected off a mirror and into a glass of water, it undergoes both reflection and refraction. The light ray bounces off the mirror's surface and then bends as it enters the water due to the change in the medium's density. This causes the light ray to change direction and speed as it travels through the water.
What 2 things happened when the light ray when you moved the laser to the left and to the right?

How do you explain that the pencil appears broken in the glass of water?
A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air. This is called "refraction".A ray of light changes direction when it gets out of the water, and into the air.

What is most likely to happen when a light ray passes from air into water?
The light ray will change its direction and bend towards the normal as it enters the water due to a decrease in the speed of light. This is known as refraction.
What happens when a ray of light strikes a flat water surface?
Whenever light hits a water surface, some of the light is reflected off, and some of it is refracted, or "bent", deeper into the water. The proportion that is reflected and refracted depends on the wavelength of the light and the angle of incidence. When light goes straight down into the water, most of it penetrates the surface and goes into the water. When the light impacts at an angle, more of the light is reflected away.
A ray of light traveling from air to water will bend which direction?
The ray will bend towards the normal.
When light travels sideways through a glass of water and comes out the other side how many times will the light ray refract?
The light ray will refract twice as it enters and exits the water.
A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water The angle that the incoming light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of?
The angle that the incoming light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of incidence.
Why do objects look distorted under water?
A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air.

What is the change of path of a light ray from glass into water?
Index of retraction
