|
| Materials Required |
- A transparent Glass jar with water
- A Pencil
|
|
How to do it
|
- Take the jar and fill it with water.
- Now place a pencil (which is long enough) inside the jar.
- Now let the child observe the pencil. you could see a bend in the pencil.
- TAke the pencil out of the water and see it again. Again let it inside.
- The bend is seen , because the spped of light decreases in the water. So the pencil appears to be bent, even though it is not actually. This property of light is called refraction.
