What else can I help you with?
How can you use refraction in a sentence?
Light refraction causes a straw in a glass of water to appear bent or broken.
Why does an oar appear to be bent when part of it is in the water?
Refraction.
How would you use refraction in a sentence?
The location of the fish in the water is not where it seems to be, due to the refraction of light in the water.
What phenomenon makes objects to appear to bend in water?
refraction of light
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.
Why does fish appear to be bloated when seen on the side of aquarium?
a fish appear to be bloated when seen in aquarium because of refraction of light
The sun and moon appear elliptical near the horizon due to?
The sun and moon appear elliptical near the horizon due to atmospheric refraction. This bending of light causes the celestial objects to look slightly flattened when they are closer to the horizon.
Why does a straw appear to be bent in water?
When light passes from one medium to another (e.g. air to water), it changes speed and direction, causing refraction. This refraction makes the straw appear bent at the surface of the water even though it is actually straight.
To make the smaller glass disappear that is make it appear to be invisible How would the index of refraction of the liquid inside have to compare to the index of refraction of the glass?
If you want the smaller glass to appear invisible in the liquid it contains, the index of refraction of the liquid must be equal to or very close to the index of refraction of the glass. Matching these refractive indices results in minimizing the reflection and refraction of light at the glass-liquid interface, making the glass less visible to the observer.
Why does a flower stem appear larger under water?
cuz the plant ate tacos :)Refraction.
Why do objects appear different in size and shape in a container of water due to refraction?
When light passes from air into water, it changes speed and direction, causing objects to appear distorted or different in size and shape when viewed through the water. This phenomenon is called refraction.
Why do objects in water appear different?
Objects in water appear different due to refraction, which occurs as light travels from one medium to another. This causes the light rays to bend, altering the way objects underwater are perceived from above the surface. The refraction can make objects appear larger, closer, or distorted compared to when they are viewed in air.
