Why do things look bigger when you look at it through water?
water bends or refracts light. also the shape and type of material of the container may make the object look bigger E.G some types of glass act as magnifying glasses or rounded containers may do the same.
Look for objects that are about the size of 1 cubit?
length of the printer
Do all transparent objects or substances bend light the same amount?
No. The amount that a particular medium bends light is related to the speed of light within that medium, not its transparency. The medium that light travels through affects the light's speed, and the greater the reduction of speed, the greater the angular distortion. For example, light travels faster through normal air than through glass or water, so when light hits a sheet of glass or a water droplet at an angle, it slows down and changes direction; when it hits the other side of the glass or water droplet and goes back into air it speeds up and changes direction again. if the two sides are perfectly parallel the light travels on in the same direction, but if they are not (as in a prism or a round water droplet), the light can continue on in a different direction. in fact, different wavelengths of light are deflected different amounts by entry into or exit from a given medium, which is what produces spectrums from prisms and rainbows from suspended water droplets. You can test this in a pool, pond, or bathtub: notice how when you look straight down into the water things are not very distorted (though they appear to be a little closer than you'd expect), but when you bend down and look into the water at an angle, objects that are straight look like they have a distinct bend in them.
What you want to look at under a microscope is put on one of these?
A slide.
Why doe the water not come out of the sink facets but works everywhere else?
if you look under the sink, you will probably see a cutoff valve going up to the sink faucet. turn this on. if that does not fix it, then change you faucet fixture.
Why do objects look larger under water?
Objects appear larger underwater due to the refractive index of water. This causes light rays to bend as they pass through water, which makes objects look closer and larger than they actually are. Additionally, the distortion caused by the water can magnify the appearance of objects.
How can refraction make objects look?
Refraction occurs when light changes speed as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to change direction. This change in direction can make objects appear distorted or bent when viewed through the refracting medium, such as a lens or water.
Why does refraction cause firemen problems?
The heat bends the light, causing objects to look distorted, and therefore the fireman's pathway. Just like the light above a radiator is distorted by its heat because light travels slower in heat.
Can water make rock look bent or broken?
Most any liquid will distort light rays and make objects seen through the liquid as distorted. When you see the part of the rock through the liquid and part of it through the air, it will indeed look bent.
Why do things look distorted when you look into a fish bowl?
When you look into a fishbowl or any curved glass container, the light bends as it passes through the curved surface, causing the objects inside to appear distorted or magnified. This distortion is due to the refraction of light at the curved boundary between air and glass, altering the way the objects are perceived by your eyes.
What causes objects to look longer?
Any distortion in the light that gets from the object from your eyes - for example, refraction if the object is under water.
How do glasses make things look slanted?
When glasses are not properly aligned with the eyes, they can cause light to refract unevenly, making objects appear slanted or distorted.
What causes a pencil to look bent in water?
When light travels from one medium to another of different optical density, it changes speed and direction, causing refraction. This refraction is why objects in water appear to be in a different position than they actually are. This effect can make a pencil look bent or distorted when placed in water.
Why do forks look different under water?
Lots of things look different under water. As a result of refraction, the light that reaches us from the object under water changes direction.
Why do things look broken in water?
refraction is the cause================================Because light bends when it crosses the boundary between air and water,but when your brain judges the direction of an object, it assumes that thelight from it came to you straight.
Why do objects look larger in water?
Water bends or refracts light, not only do things look bigger they are not where they appear to be.
Do objects look broken when they are in water?
Yes when part of it is seen out of the water it tricks the eye
