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.

What causes a stick to bend when immersed in water?
