It doesn't. It only appears to because of an optical illusion. Refraction due to the water alters the apparent position of the rod beneath the water. This is the same cause for the apparent reduction of depth in a swimming pool

Do a pencil partically immersed in water appear bent because of diffraction of light?
Yes.
What are bent engine pistons?
A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.
Why does a glass rod bent when viewed under water?
becaus eit likes chicken
Why a rod immersed partially in a transparent liquid appears to be bent at the surface of the liquid?
When light travels from one medium to another (e.g. from air to a liquid), it changes speed and direction. This causes the light rays to bend or refract at the interface between the two mediums. This change in direction can make the rod appear bent at the surface of the liquid when viewed from outside.
Why does a pencil immersed obliquely in water appear bent and short explain?
When light travels from water to air, it changes speed and bends, causing the pencil to appear bent. This effect is known as refraction. The change in speed causes the light rays from the pencil to change direction as they pass through the interface between water and air, creating the illusion of a bent pencil.
Can loose rocker cause bent push rod?
Sure can, Quick A bent push rod will cause a loose rocker A loose rocker has no way to bend a push rod, there is no pressure.
Why does a spoon appear bent when immersed in a half filled glass of water?
This phenomenon is due to the refraction of light as it passes from air into water, causing the light rays to change direction. When the light from the part of the spoon below the water surface is refracted, it creates the illusion that the spoon is bent at the water's surface.
What would cause a knocking sound in a 1992 Cavalier while its running?
it might be a bent piton rod if you or water or somthing into the engine
A stick appears bent and short when immersed obliquely in water why?
When light passes from water to air, it changes speed and bends (refracts) due to the change in the medium's density. This bending of light causes the stick to appear bent at the water's surface. The apparent shortening is due to the difference in how light travels through water compared to air, creating an optical illusion.
Crankwalk 98 eclipse non turbo 2.0 has a bent crank no other damage- bottom of one piston barely hitting counter weights and same rod has no side play 1-4 pistons not at tdc at exac same time twist?
Bent crank or bent connecting rod. Probably bent connecting rod...
What happens when copper rod is immersed in silver nitrate solution?
When a copper rod is immersed in a silver nitrate solution, a redox reaction occurs where copper displaces silver from the solution to form copper nitrate and silver metal. This is due to copper being higher in the reactivity series than silver. As a result, the copper rod will become coated with a layer of silver metal while copper ions from the rod will transfer into the solution.
What causes a stick to bend when immersed in water?
When a stick is immersed in water, it bends due to the difference in density between the stick and the water. The water exerts an upward buoyant force on the stick, causing it to displace water and experience a net force upwards. This force bends the stick until equilibrium is reached.
