Which process causes a metal spoon to appear split of broken in a glass of water?
optical effect
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.
Why does this pencil appear broken at the boundary between the air and water as view from the side of a glass of water?
due to refraction If the pencil is vertical, then it shouldn't look broken.
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.
Why does glass not crack if a spoon is put into it?
It appears broken because of the reflection of the object and it's from the other molecules hitting the water which causes a bend like appearance to happen the light bends.the light bending is called refraction.

Does sound like light in passing from water to air?
Yes, the sound like the light is refracted and distorted. just like the broken spoon in a glass of water, sound waves under water are broken. Sound traveling from the air to the water are bent and scrambled, but lets say that the spoon was completely in the water, then it appear perfectly normal. so if the sound originated from the water then it would remain undistorted.

What is an absinthe spoon for?
An absinthe spoon is used to sweeten the absinthe. The spoon is placed on the rim of a glass and a sugar cube is placed in it. Ice cold water is dripped onto the ice cube and into the glass.
How are compound sugars formed and broken down?
The compound sugar is broken down in water which is a great solvent. You get a glass of water and pour a spoon of sugar in. shake the glass and the sugar will appear gone although this is not the case. Before you shake the glass the sugar molecules are bunched together and easy to see but after shaking the glass the sugar molecules have separated into single molecules which cannot be seen without the use of a magnifying tool.

Why do drops of water appear on a cold glass of water?
This is condensation.
Why an empty glass cracks when you pour very hot water into it but it does not crack if there is a metal spoon in it?
As the metal spoon is a good conductor of heat and because heat travels from a hotter reigion to a colder reigion,the metal spoon will conduct heat away from the hot water and thus,the emty glass will not crack.
What is less dense glass or water?
Generally, glass is more dense than water. (There are some types of glass which are less dense.) You can demonstrate this by gently placing a glass full of water in the sink or tub; the glass will sink, indicating that glass is more dense than water. If the glass were to float, we would know that the glass were less dense. Try this with plastic cup; the plastic is normally less dense, and will float.
