Answer : The pencil appears broken because it bends when it passes through water.

Explanation :

When a student placed a pencil in a cup of water, the pencil appears broken. This is due to the refraction of light.

The bending of light when it moves from one medium to another is called refraction of light. When the light travels from denser to rarer medium, it gets bends away from the normal.

While when the light travels from rarer to a denser medium, it moves towards the normal.

So, the correct option is " bends when it passes through water ".

<span>None of the choices makes a correct statement.  The third choice is close,
but misleading.

The pencil appears broken because light bends away from a straight line
when it crosses the boundary between air and water.</span>

The horn on a fire truck sounds at a pitch of 350 hz a. what is the perceived frequency when the fire truck is moving toward you
solong [7]

The perceived frequency when the fire truck is moving toward you and away from you will be 370 Hz and 329.59 Hz respectively.

<h3>What is the Doppler effect?</h3>

A sudden change in the frequency due to the distance between the objects and source is explained by the doppler effect.

As the source and observer travel toward each other, the frequency of sound, light, or other waves increases or decreases.

The perceived frequency when the fire truck is moving toward you;

\rm r' = (\frac{v+v_0}{v}) V \\\\ \rm r' = (\frac{343+20}{343}) 350 \\\\ r' =370.4  \  Hz

The perceived frequency when the fire truck is moving away from you;

\rm r' = (\frac{v-v_0}{v}) V \\\\ \rm r' = (\frac{343-20}{343}) 343 \\\\ r' =329.59  \  Hz

Hence, the perceived frequency when the fire truck in cases 1 and 2 will be 370 Hz and 329.59 Hz.
