Question
which behavior is the spoon in the top image most likely being used to illustrate?
refraction
absorption
reflection
bounce
Brief Explanations
When a spoon is placed in a glass of water and appears bent, it is due to refraction. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium (air) to another (water). Absorption is when light is taken in by a material. Reflection is when light bounces off a surface. "Bounce" is a non - scientific term in this context.
