A student placed a pencil in a glass of water. The pencil appears broken because light –

• always travels in a straight line

• makes the water in the glass evaporate.

• bends when it passes through water.

Students often use a hand lens to make small objects appear larger. A hand lens makes objects appear larger because the lens —

• increases the light's strength

• changes the color of the light

• bends light passing through it

• converts light energy to heat.
