due to refraction If the pencil is vertical, then it shouldn't look broken.
When you put a pencil in the water what does it look like?
If light diffraction is what you are asking, then the pencil looks a bit broken on the line where it passes from air to water. Also the pencil looks about one third bigger under water.
What is the conclusion of broken pencil?
-the pencil looks broken & bent in water. - the pencil looks bent, because of the refraction of light, that causes that to happen. -pencil looks really thick, in water.
Is a pencil in water refraction?
yes, if the pencil is in water, its refraction because when a wave enters a new medium, the waves speed changes and moves in a different angle. that's why a pencil looks broken in water
Why does a pencil looks broken when seen from the side of drinking glass with water?
As water is a denser medium compared to air refraction occurs. Refraction causes the light to be bent before reaching our eyes. Hence, pencil looks broken.

Can a pencil break by the force of ice?
Yes, a pencil can be broke by the force of Ice. This has been tested by a man leaving a pencil wrapped in tinfoil and covered in water, then left in a fridge. They waited and when they pulled it out the Pencil has been broken by the covering tightening over it and the Ice pressure, compressing it. This is how a pencil is broken by the force of Ice.
Why does a pencil appear broken at the boundery between air nd water of the glass and water as viewed at the side of a glass of water?
Your eye is interpreting the path taken by the light that reflects off the pencil.
Is the speed of light in air and in water is the same is the best explanation why the pencil appears broken at the boundary air and water?
If the speed of light were the same in air and water, then the pencil would appearstraight, NOT broken. The beginning of the simplest explanation of why it doesappear broken is the fact that the speed of light is different in air and in water,and that causes light to bend when goes from one into the other.
Why in a photography of a man rowing a boat the oars seem to be broken?
Its due to refraction. The same way a pencil seems broken in a beaker of water.
What do you do when your pencil's broken?
First, remove broken pieces slowly. Then obtain new pencil and try to relax this time.
What is rare faction examples?
One example of refraction of light is a rainbow and a broken pencil when placed in a glass of water.
