A fish lying inside water appears slightly above its actual depth due to the refraction of light. When light passes from water to air, it bends away from the normal. This bending causes the fish to appear at a shallower ...

A solar eclipse occurs on a new moon day (Pratipada). This is when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow on Earth’s surface and causing a temporary obscuration of the Sun’s light.
A cut diamond sparkles due to its unique molecular structure. The facets of a diamond are designed to reflect and refract light internally, maximizing its brilliance and dispersion of colors, creating the sparkling effect known as “fire” in diamonds.
The phenomenon of light returning after hitting a smooth surface is called reflection. This occurs when light rays bounce off a surface at an angle equal to the angle at which they hit the surface, obeying the law of reflection.
The speed of light in descending order is diamond > glass > water. Light travels fastest in diamond, slower in glass, and slowest in water due to differences in their optical densities and molecular structures affecting the speed of light ...
