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.

When light passes at an angle to the normal from one medium into another in which its speed is higher

• it is bent toward the normal.

• it always lies along the normal.

• it is unaffected.

• it is bent away from the normal.
