As water is a denser medium compared to air refraction occurs.
Refraction causes the light to be bent before reaching our eyes.
Hence, pencil looks broken.
-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.
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'.
When a pencil is placed in water, light passing from air to water through the water's surface is refracted due to the change in speed. This refraction causes the light rays from the pencil to bend at different angles, making the pencil appear broken at the water's surface.
Yes, when a pencil is placed in water, light rays traveling from the pencil to the observer are bent at the water-air interface, causing the pencil to appear broken or shifted. This phenomenon is due to refraction, where light bends as it travels from one medium to another of different optical density.
When a pencil is placed in water, it appears to bend or break at the surface of the water due to refraction. This effect is caused by light rays bending as they pass from the water to the air, creating an optical illusion.

Refraction. Take a clear glass, pour some water in it, and put in the glass a pencil. It looks like the pencil breaks.

When a pencil is placed in a half cup of water, it appears broken due to the refraction of light at the water's surface. This bending of light occurs because light travels at different speeds in air and water, causing the pencil to appear displaced or misaligned at the interface. The effect creates an optical illusion that makes the pencil seem fractured or bent at the water's edge.
It looks like a pencil with no colors
the cursor looks like pencil
pencil
Water will bend a beam of light. Try this put a stright pincil in a glass of water. The pencil is still stright but looks bent. The water is bending the beam of light.
