उत्तर
Small air bubbles rising up a fish tank appear silvery when viewed from some particular angle is due to the total internal reflection.
Explanation:
If the angle of incidence is larger than the critical angle, a light beam that is travelling from an optically denser to a rarer medium reflects back into the denser medium.
