प्रश्न
A pencil when dipped in water in a glass tumbler appears to be bent at the interface of air and water. Will the pencil appear to be bent to the same extent, if instead of water we use liquids like, kerosene or turpentine. Support your answer with reason.

उत्तर
The pencil when dipped in water in a glass tumbler appears to be bent at the interface of air and water due to the refraction of light. The refractive index of different mediums is different. The refractive index of kerosene and turpentine is more than the water, due to this the pencil will appear to bend more in case of kerosene or turpentine than that in case of water.
Therefore the pencil will not appear to be bent to the same extent, if instead of water we use liquids like, kerosene or turpentine.
