When an object is distorted in water what is it called?
When an object appears distorted in water, it is called refraction. Refraction occurs because light travels at different speeds in water compared to in air, causing the object to appear shifted or distorted when viewed through the water.
What is it called when a wave strikes an object and bends?
When a wave strikes an object and bends around it, it is called diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or aperture and spread out in different directions, resulting in the bending of the wave.
When light is bent as it travels through an object it is called?
Refraction. This is when light changes direction as it passes from one transparent medium to another with a different optical density, causing it to bend.
What is a cut by a sharp object called?
A cut caused by a sharp object is commonly referred to as a laceration.
When focusing on a distant object is the lens more concave?
When focusing on a distant object, the lens is more convex. The convex lens bends light inward and converges it at a focal point to form a sharp image of a distant object.
An image of a distant object caused by refraction of light is called a?
a mirage
When light is bent as it travel through an object it is called?
Refraction
What is an image of a distance object caused by light refraction through air of varying temperature?
Mirage
What is it called when an object looks bent while standing in water?
It's called refraction.

When an object appears distorted in water, it is called refraction. Refraction occurs because light travels at different speeds in water compared to in air, causing the object to appear shifted or distorted when viewed through the water.

What is light that is bent when it passes through an object called?
reFRACtion There isn't a good nmeonic or the like to remember the difference between refraction, reflection and diffraction. You just have to learn it.
What is light refraction used for?
Refraction of light allows for the change of appearance of an object
What happens when a waves strikes an object and bends?
The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium into another is called refraction.
Why do distant objects ripple on a hot day?
Distance objects can be seen to "ripple" on a hot day because of refraction. As light from a distance object makes the trip to the observer, it passes through air of slightly varying densities. This causes it to "change course" to a degree, which is refraction. It is this thermally induced refraction that is responsible for the "ripple" we see, and for the mirage we sometimes hear about.
When light is bent as it travels through an object it is called?
Refraction. This is when light changes direction as it passes from one transparent medium to another with a different optical density, causing it to bend.
Why does an object bend when put into water?
because of refraction , you see the object "bending"
