Question

Lisa sees the image below as she researches the behavior of light.
Which behavior is the spoon in the top image most likely being used to illustrate?
A refraction
B absorption
C reflection
D bounce

Answer 1

The answer to the question is Refraction.

EXPLANATION:

The spoon half dipped inside the water is appeared to be bent. This is due to the optical  phenomenon called refraction.

Refraction is the property of light by virtue of which light ray bends away or towards the normal at the point of incidence when it incidents obliquely at the refracting surface.

In the given figure, light rays are coming from air which is optically rarer medium as compared to water. So, the ray, after striking the air-water interface, gets bent towards the normal in the optically denser medium i.e water.  It is so because the velocity of light in optically denser medium is less as compared to rarer medium.

We view the object due to the light. As light rays are bent, so the spoon is appeared to be bent.

Answer 2

The behavior which the spoon in the top image is most likely being used to illustrate is:

• Refraction

What is Refraction?

This refers to the property of light which takes into account the way light bends away when it comes in contact with an object.

With this in mind and from the given image, we can see that the medium used is water and light rays come in from air and when they come in contact with the water as a medium, they bend away which is refraction.
