When light passes through air and enters water, it changes speed and direction due to the different density of the two mediums. This causes the light rays to refract, making objects appear distorted, crooked, or broken when viewed through water. This phenomenon is known as refraction.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a straw appear broken as it sits in a glass of water?
The light passing from the water to the air through the curved surface of the glass causes the light to refract or bend. This bending creates an optical illusion that makes the straw appear broken or disjointed.
Which process causes a metal spoon to appear split of broken in a glass of water?
optical effect
Why does this pencil appear broken at the boundary between the air and water as view from the side of a glass of water?
This optical illusion is caused by light refraction at the boundary between the air and water. When light passes from air to water, it changes direction due to the change in media, making the pencil appear broken or disjointed at the water's surface.
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 stick appear to be broken?
The stick appears to be broken due to light refraction at the interface between the air and water, causing the light rays to bend. This bending of light makes the stick appear disjointed at the point where it enters the water.

What is the homophone to direct not crooked?
not crooked = straight body of water = strait
What are the homophones for direct not crooked and narrow natural channel of water?
Strait -- channel of water straight -- not crooked

Why does the stick appear to be broken?
The stick appears to be broken due to light refraction at the interface between the air and water, causing the light rays to bend. This bending of light makes the stick appear disjointed at the point where it enters the water.
What two things can water be broken down to?
hydrogen and oxygen
Why does a pencil seem crooked when its on water?
A pencil appears crooked when placed in water due to the phenomenon of refraction. When light travels from air into water, it changes speed and bends, causing the pencil's image to shift. This bending of light distorts the pencil's position, making it look like it's broken or misaligned at the water's surface. This visual effect is a result of the difference in optical density between air and water.
Why does a spoon in a glass appear to be bent or broken in water?
When light travels from water to air, it changes speed and direction due to the change in the medium's density. This causes the light rays to refract or bend, creating an optical illusion that makes the spoon appear bent or broken at the point where it enters the water.
Can you give a sentence for the word crooked?
water and sewer lines were buried beneath the crooked lanes
How can you use refraction in a sentence?
Light refraction causes a straw in a glass of water to appear bent or broken.
