The process occurring in this scenario is Refraction. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, in this case, from air into water. This bending of light causes the straw to appear bent when viewed through the water.
A ray of sunlight enters a glass of water and bends, causing the straight straw in the glass to look like it is bent as well. What process is occurring in this scenario? (1 point)
