Why can you see a coin in water?
It demonstrates a special property of water, called light refraction. If you put a coin inside a glass of water, you will be able to see that it appears in two places at once. It’s as if a mirror were used to show the coin to both the front and the back of its surface at the same time.
Why did the coin disappear?
This happens because of refraction. When light bounces off of an object, it reaches our eyes and we see the object. As light travels through the sides of the glass and the water, it’s refracted and never reaches our eyes, which makes the penny seems to disappear.
