The illustration shows a light ray striking an object.
In the illustration, the light ray striking the object is-

absorbed

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

The bouncing off of light rays from the surface of an object such as a mirror or other shiny surface is called:

mirror

laser

reflection

refraction
