• Bent

• Bounced

• Reflected

• Absorbed

Sometimes it is possible to see light rays. An example is when sunlight breaks through the clouds. Sunlight breaking through the clouds demonstrates how light rays travel in -

• curved rays

• straight line

• zigzag rays

• circular waves

An object looks broken in a cup of water as shown.

• reflection

• refraction

Why do light waves bend when light is refracted?

• When light waves strike a surface, they bounce back at the same angle.

• When light waves travel from one medium to another, they change speed and direction.

• When light waves strike a surface, some of the energy is absorbed by the surface.

• When light waves strike a material, they are able to move through a material.
