Question

A pelican hunts fish in the water. As the pelican flies above the water’s surface, why must it aim for the fish in a slightly different place than where the fish appears to be located?
A. Light reflects off the fish, except for light of the wavelength the fish absorbs, making the fish hard to see.
B. Water absorbs most of the light, so not much light reaches the pelican’s eyes.
C. Energy from the ocean waves is transferred to the light waves.
D. Light waves are refracted as they travel from air to water.

Answer 1

Light reflects off the fish, except for light of the wavelength the fish

absorbs, making the fish hard to see which is why it must aim for the fish in

a slightly different place.

What is Reflection?

This is the change in the direction of propagation of a wave that strikes the

boundary between different mediums and in this case, the medium is

water.

The change in direction which occurs during reflection of the light

makes it harder for the Pelican  ro see which is why it must aim for the

fish in a slightly different place.
