Question

Which best describes an object seen through two media at the same time?

A. Light rays are refracted, and the object appears to be bent.
B. Light rays speed up, and the object appears to be disconnected.
C. Light rays slow down, and the image is a false reflected called a mirage.
D. Light rays are transmitted, and the object appears to be curved.

Answer 1

A. Light rays are refracted, and the object appears to be bent.

Think of a straw in water. It looks bent or refracted in the water, but not in the air because of the light waves changing speed from the medium of air to the medium of water.
