it is because of Refraction. The speed of light changes in different densities.
Refraction of light causes the straw to appear bent in a glass of water. Light waves change speed and direction when they pass from one medium (air) to another (water), causing the light to bend at the air-water interface. This bending effect creates the illusion of the straw being bent.
When light moves from air to water, it changes speed and direction, causing the light rays to bend. This bending of light creates an optical illusion that makes the portion of the straw underwater appear bent. This effect is called refraction.
When light passes through the water and enters the air inside the straw, it changes speed and direction due to the change in medium, causing the light rays to bend. This bending effect is known as refraction, and it makes the straw appear bent when viewed through the water.
When light passes from air into water, it changes direction due to the difference in the refractive index of the two mediums. This causes the straw to appear broken at the water's surface. The light bends at the interface, creating an optical illusion that distorts our perception of the straw's true position.
Water can cause a distortion of the light and in turn causes optical illusions. The water refracts light in such a way that objects viewed through light can appear bent, or angled sharply. This is a function of refraction.

This is due to the principle of refraction. Refraction occurs at the boundary of the two media air and water. When a light ray hits this boundary at an angle, it changes direction and seems to bend. So. the straw appear bent when we look at it through the water glass because light is being bent as it passes through the different media of air, water, and the glass.

A straw looks "bent" when it's in water because water causes light to "change course" when it moves from air into the water. The light will again be caused to change course when it leaves the water to go back into air. This is called refraction. Refraction is a fundamental property exhibited by a wave that changes mediums through which it is traveling.Or, making it simple..A straw seems bent because water is denser than air, so when it changes from air to water is applied it seems bent.
Get a clear glass and half fill it with water. Place a straw or stick in the glass and if you look form the side you will see that where the stick enters the water it appear to have a kink in it. This is because the path of light is bent (refracted) by the water. When you stand in water and look down at your legs, this bending of the light make the image of your legs took foreshortened.
Yes, and that is called Refraction. This is because the speed of light can vary from medium to medium. The speed of light commonly known is the speed of light at a vacuum.Put a straw to a glass of water and look from above. You may see the straight straw bent at the surface of water, because the light rays that come from under the water are bent when passing the water/air barrier. Because light rays speeds up when entering air from water. This change of speed can change the angle it was travelling.Light is an electro magnetic wave. Electro magnetic waves have the wave particle duality, that it behaves as a energy wave as well as a particle stream. Therefore, em waves also has a mass.
because of refraction of light same principle as when you look at a straw in water and it looks broken
Yes, very easily. Get a glass of water and stick a straw in it. It will not look connected of straight.
The water will look like a rainbow. that's what happens when it rains
Refraction of light occurs when light passes from one medium to another, such as air into water, causing it to bend. When you observe a straw in a glass of water, the part of the straw submerged appears shifted or broken at the water's surface due to this bending of light. This optical illusion occurs because the light rays traveling from the submerged part to your eyes change direction as they exit the water, altering your perception of the straw's position.
