3.18.3 Refraction happens<br />

when light is shown through<br />

another material, and it changes<br />

the way it is being shown. An<br />

example is when you fill a cup<br />

with water, and then you place<br />

a pencil in the water. When you<br />

look at the pencil from the side<br />

it looks as though the pencil is<br />

broken where the pencil enters<br />

the water. This is due to<br />

refraction, and the bending of<br />

the waves be<strong>for</strong>e it enters your<br />

eyes. This picture shows the<br />

broken pencil experiment.
