Question

In the book hatchet. Chapter 13. Explain re-fraction. How did the understanding of this phenomenon help Brian catch his first fish?

Answer 1

Re-fraction is when the shape of an object shift when put into water. Brian knew how to catch the fish because he knew that the shape of the object shifted so he had to move over and try to catch the fish.

Answer 2

When you put something under water, the water seems to bend the shape, so when Brian aims slightly below at an object, he can hit it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refraction is the phenomenon of light and radio waves being diverted in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another. In fact, Brian is clever and inventive, since he figures out how to catch fish and lure them in with the guts from the previous fish.
