Why does a pencil looks broken when seen from the side of drinking glass with water?
When light passes from air into water, it changes speed and direction, causing the pencil to appear distorted at the air-water interface. This bending of light is known as refraction. This effect causes the pencil to seem broken or disjointed when viewed from the side of the drinking glass filled with water.
How does refraction occur in real life, and can you provide examples of refraction in everyday situations?
Refraction occurs when light waves change direction as they pass from one medium to another, due to a change in speed. This bending of light can be seen in everyday situations such as when a straw appears bent in a glass of water, or when a pencil looks broken in a glass of water. Another example is the way light bends when passing through a prism, creating a rainbow effect.
What happens when a person looks at a glass of water with a pencil in it?
As light hits the water it is slowed down. As the light above the water is going at 3x108 m/s, and the light in the water is going considerably slower, the image of the pencil looks like it is split in two. This is called 'refraction'.
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.
What is it called when you bend light so it looks like its broken?
That phenomenon is called refraction, where light bends as it passes from one medium to another, creating the appearance of broken or distorted images. This effect can be seen when light travels through materials of different densities, such as water or glass.

Explain the process of refraction and an example?
Refraction is the phenomena that occurs when a ray of light changes direction when it passes through a medium with a different refractive index. This is observable as by submerging an object half in water half out. It looks like at the surface of the water the object, lets say your arm for example, is in the water at a different angle than it is outside of the water.

Why does a swimming pool not look as deep as it is?
because of refraction of light same principle as when you look at a straw in water and it looks broken
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 are examples of refraction of light?
An example of light refracting is a spoon in water and looks like it has been bent in half.
If you look through the bottom of a glass beaker everything looks distorted why?
The glass at the bottom is not of uniform thickness and not of optical quality. The rays of light from the objects that you are looking at are, therefore diffracted and absorbed in different ways. This causes the distortions.
Can you give an example of a sentence using the word refraction?
To refract is when a wave bends because it passes from one material into another. Here are some sentences.Rainbows are made when light refracts through raindrops.Your straw seems to bend in your glass because the light refracts.Sound will refract when it moves from air into solid matter.
What does a hawk squawking a broken glass a person who looks strested out and a dog looking sad all have in common?
disappointed
