When immersed in a beaker of water, a straight glass rod seems to undergo bending, as depicted in the diagram.



What provides the most accurate explanation for this phenomenon?

As light crosses the boundary between air and water, it undergoes refraction.

The temperature of the water in the beaker is higher than that of the surrounding air.

In water, light moves at a higher speed compared to its velocity in air.

At the interface between air and water, light undergoes reflection.

are you sure

Yes, I am sure. When light travels from one medium (such as air) to another medium (such as water), it changes speed and direction. This phenomenon is known as refraction. Therefore, as light crosses the boundary between air and water, it undergoes refraction, which can cause the glass rod to appear bent when immersed in water.
