Answer:

It is due to refraction of light.

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed.

The ray of light bends towards the normal while traveling from less denser medium to more denser one.

The ray of light bends away from the normal while traveling from more denser medium to less denser one.
