How is refraction used in Fishing?
water bends in light because of refraction which causes fish to seem a little off than where they appear to be. Because of this fisherman need to know where to position their hooks when they can see fish

Why does a straw appear broken as it sits in a glass of water?
Refraction bends the light, making the straw appear to be broken.
Where do rainbows appear?
reflection, refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection of the sun's rays make rainbows appear.
Why are things not where they appear in water?
Because of the refraction of light. Light bends when it passes from one medium to another, this bending is called refraction not to be confused with reflection.
