Light doesn't travel along the rainbow! It travels straight to your eye from

every point of the rainbow. The points capable of producing a rainbow for a

single individual observer happen to comprise a circular region in space.

Why doese a pencil look bent or broaken when it is in water?

When light travels from air into water, it changes speed and direction due to a phenomenon called refraction. This change in direction can make objects appear bent or broken when viewed through the water's surface, even though the object is actually straight.


How does the surface affect the distance travelled by the car?

It doesn't as far as the car itself is concerned. If the car travels 100 miles on a straight road or the same amount on a curvy road the car still travels 100 miles even though on the curvy road it may have only traveled 80 miles as measured in a straight line.


Through what medium does light travel?

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.
