Question

Write scientific reason.
The bottom of a pond appears raised.

✓

Answer

The rays of light coming from the bottom of a pond bend away from the normal as they travel from water (denser medium) to air (rarer medium).
Hence, they appear to come from a point above the actual point from which they come. Therefore, the bottom of the pond appears raised.
