Write scientific reason.
A pencil appears to be broken near the surface of water.

उत्तर
- When one look at the portion of the pencil that is inside the water, light travels from water to air via glass.
- This light ray changes the medium and undergoes refraction.
- As a result, the pencil inside the water appears to be broken near the surface of water.
