Light Refraction and Perception

What phenomenon causes light to change direction when passing from one medium to another obliquely?

• Reflection

• Refraction

• Diffraction

• Absorption

When a magic wand is placed in water, what are the two different media that light passes through, causing it to appear bent?

• Glass and water

• Air and glass

• Air and water

• Water and plastic

Why does the tip of an object submerged in water appear to be at a different position than its actual location?

• The water magnifies the object.

• The object is actually bent.

• Light rays from the object's tip refract when passing from water to air, and our eyes trace them back as straight lines.

• The water distorts the object's color.

What happens to the light rays from the submerged part of an object when they reach our eyes after passing from water to air?

• They are absorbed by the water.

• They are reflected back into the water.

• They change direction and are traced back by our eyes as straight lines, making the object appear at a different position.

• They travel in a perfectly straight line without any change.
