• stopped
• reflected
• refracted

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water.  The pencil appears broken because light-

• always travels in a straight line
• bends when it passes through water
• makes the water in the glass evaporate
• reflects the pencil on the water's surface

Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?

• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.
• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.
• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.
• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.

What is happening here?

• Reflection

• Refraction
