When you put a pencil on a glass of water what will you observe?
You will observe a pencil on a glass of water. Unless you're not looking that way, in which case, you will observe whatever you happen to be looking at. Unless, you're blind, in which case you won't observe anything.
Does a pencil remain the same when it is dipped in a glass of water?
No, the pencil will appear larger and distorted when it is dipped in a glass of water due to refraction of light. The change in appearance is caused by the bending of light as it passes from air to water, making the pencil look bent or broken.
When a pencil is placed in a glass of water the pencil appears broken at the surface of the water. This is because the light?
bends as it passes from air into water, causing the pencil to appear broken. This phenomenon is known as refraction.
Why does the pencil in a glass of water appear bent?
When light passes from one medium to another of different optical density, it changes speed, causing the light rays to bend. This bending is known as refraction. When you see the pencil in a glass of water, the light rays coming from the pencil bend as they move from the water into the air, creating the illusion that the pencil is bent at the water's surface.
What will happen to the glass if you will dip it upside down in a pail filled with water?
When you dip a glass upside down in a pail filled with water, the air trapped inside the glass creates an air pocket at the top of the glass, preventing water from entering. This is because the pressure of the air inside the glass is greater than the pressure of the water outside. The glass will remain filled with air and no water will enter.

Why is glass of water heavier than pencil?
first of all it depends on the type of pencil. Heavier pencils may sink bu tmost pencils will float.

What does a refracted image look like?
A Refracted image is like an illusion. Which fools the brain e.g. You see a pencil but the pencil has split in two parts.Demonstration:You will need: Glass, Pen or Pencil and WaterSteps:1. Put the glass on a table,2. Fill the glass to about 3/4 quarters of water,3. Put the Pen or Pencil in the glass of water,4. See what happens to the pencil.See, it seems to have split.

How does the appearance of the pencil depend on level the of water in the glass changes?
When a pencil is placed in a glass of water, the appearance of the pencil can change due to refraction. The water acts as a lens, bending the light as it passes from the air to the water and then back to the air. This refraction can make the pencil appear bent or broken when viewed from certain angles.
Why do legs look funny when you look at the swimming pool?
Refraction. Take a clear glass, pour some water in it, and put in the glass a pencil. It looks like the pencil breaks.
What do you think would happen if the bottom of the glass had a hole in it you submerged it upside down in water?
If the glass has a hole in the bottom and you submerge it upside down in water, the water would enter the glass through the hole until the air pressure inside and outside the glass equalize. Once this happens, the water would stay at a level inside the glass equal to the height of the water outside the glass.
When a glass is placed facing down in a basin of water why don't the water go inside the glass?
The air pressure acting on the water surface prevents it from entering the glass. The pressure of the water pushing against the glass is not enough to overcome the air pressure inside the glass, which keeps the water out.
Why cant you put glass with water inside the refrigerator?
Water expands when it becomes ice.So the glass will break if you put a glass of water inside the refrigerator. I put glasses of water inside my refrigerator all the time.It keeps it cold. If your glass is freezing and breaking you need to check your temp setting.
