              This workbook provides questions for you to practise what you

              have learned in class. There is a topic to match each topic in your

              Learner’s Book. Each topic contains the following sections:



                                                           Focus
              Focus: these questions help you              1   Explain why the pencil in the picture appears to be bent.

              to master the basics.                             Cross out the incorrect alternatives in the sentences below.
                                                              The pencil is bent because of reflection / refraction.
                                                              A ray of light passes from the pencil through the water /
                                                              air to the glass. The ray bends / straightens when it passes
                                                              through the glass to the air / water and into our eyes.
                                                              We see the bent pencil as a trick / an optical illusion.
