Which section of the spectrum is the ONLY one we can see?

• X-rays
• Visible Light
• Gamma Rays
• Ultraviolet Rays

The illustration shows a light ray striking an object.
In the illustration, the light ray striking the object is-

• absorbed
• stopped
• reflected
• refracted

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water.  The pencil appears broken because light-

• always travels in a straight line
• bends when it passes through water
• makes the water in the glass evaporate
• reflects the pencil on the water's surface
