Alright.
There's a beaker with a graduated cylinder stuck in it. There is a pencil inside the graduated cylinder which is filled with water. The beaker is just filled with air.
Trace the path of the rays. Beware of refraction/reflection differences.
(Please note, my drawing sucks and all that, the black splotches are censored).
Basically we're learning about refraction and reflection. The red lines are rays, and what I *think* should happen. We're assuming these appeared out of nowhere (I know, its a stupid question for a stupid assessment). In both cases they're heading up, not down, I would have drawn on arrows but I'm lazy. What I mean to say is that they're heading into the pencil, not away from it.
Is this correct? Would they refract like I said?
Edit: Don't bother at all with the angles of incidence or refraction, that was a purely wild illustration just trying to make a point. What I really need to know is the principals, of where they would refract/reflect.
