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
A rarefaction of a wave can be described as...
the part of a sound wave where the particles are close together
the part of a sound wave where the particles are far apart
the part of a wave where the particles are warm
