The plant will appear taller than it’s actual height to the fish
- The fish is in the water medium and the plant is in the air medium.
- Air is considered as rarer medium in comparision to water due to more density of water.
- As the light is travelling from denser medium to rarer medium the ray of light bends away from the normal.
- So the plant will appear taller than it’s original height.
