प्रश्न
Write scientific reason.
The coin disappears in a vessel as it is seen from a specific location. But as soon as the water is poured into the vessel to a certain level, the coin appears.

उत्तर
- Light rays coming from the coin emerge out of water and change their direction due to the refraction of light.
- Hence, as soon as the water is poured into the pot to a certain level, the coin appears.
