Place a large shallow bowl on a table and put a coin in it. Move away slowly from the bowl. Stop when the coin just disappears from your sight. Ask someone to pour water gently into the bowl without disturbing the coin. Keep looking for the coin from your position. Does the coin become visible again from your position? How could this happen?

Answer:
Yes, the coin becomes visible from my position once again.
Explanation:
This is because of the refraction of light which comes from the coin inside the bowl . As it passes from the denser to the rarer medium , the light rays bend away from the normal and seems to rise up .

Explanation:
The coin becomes visible again on pouring water into the bowl. The coin appears slightly raised above its actual position due to refraction of light.
