Refraction

Summary: The pencil reflects light. The light travels from the pencil through the water. It then travels through the air into your eye. As the light leaves the water, the direction it is travelling in changes. This is called refraction. Tags: science student-book-7 physics Created: 2026-05-21 Last Updated: 2026-05-21
