Refraction

Explanation:

A pencil bends when it enters the water media due to the phenomenon of refraction.

  • Refraction is one of the properties of waves.
  • Refraction of light occurs which it crosses from a region having different density values.
  • Water is denser than air.
  • As light moves from air to wave it becomes refracted
