It happens due to the, phenomenon of refraction of light. When the rays of light from the bottom of tank, in the denser medium, fall on the interface separating the two media, the rays of light move away from the normal after refraction. The point from which the refracted rays appear to come gives the apparent position of the tank bottom. As the rays appear to come from a point above the tank bottom, therefore, the tank seems io be raised.
