Why does the straw in the water look broken?
Due to the phenomenon of refraction being caused; straw appears to be bent in water.
What causes a pencil to look bent in water?
Water can cause a distortion of the light and in turn causes optical illusions. The water refracts light in such a way that objects viewed through light can appear bent, or angled sharply. This is a function of refraction.
Why does a straw look bent in a galss of water?
it is because of Refraction. The speed of light changes in different densities.
Why doese a pencil look bent or broaken when it is in water?
Because light travels slower is water. It is also why a droplet of water can magnify. The same reason that glass magnifies also.
Why do objects appear to be bent when partially submerged under water?
The light rays from the submerged part of the objects are bent when they cross the water-air interface.
Why does the straw in the water look broken?
Due to the phenomenon of refraction being caused; straw appears to be bent in water.
What happens when light is bent as it passes throuh a droplet of water?
The water will look like a rainbow. that's what happens when it rains
Where is the water stuff on club penguin?
Look Around

Does the water molecule have a bent or straight shape?
bent
How is the universe bent around everything?
The universe isn't wrapped around stuff. The universe is displaced by the stuff.
Why does a straw appear to be bent in a glass of water?
This is due to the principle of refraction. Refraction occurs at the boundary of the two media air and water. When a light ray hits this boundary at an angle, it changes direction and seems to bend. So. the straw appear bent when we look at it through the water glass because light is being bent as it passes through the different media of air, water, and the glass.
Why doese a pencil look bent or broaken when it is in water?
Because light travels slower is water. It is also why a droplet of water can magnify. The same reason that glass magnifies also.
When you are standing in the swimming pool why does the part under water look shorter and heavier?
This is due to a phenomenon known as refraction. It's the same effect that causes a pencil to look bent if you stick it into a glass of water.
Can water make rock look bent or broken?
Most any liquid will distort light rays and make objects seen through the liquid as distorted. When you see the part of the rock through the liquid and part of it through the air, it will indeed look bent.
What general shape do water molecules have?
The general shape is "bent".
