I was washing dishes today, and I had a fork inside a cup that was filled with water. I noticed that the fork looked like it was bent. This is due to refraction. The direction of the light changed as it moved from the air to the water. Air and water are considered to be different mediums, and the change of light going from one medium to the other caused it to change direction, causing my eye to see the fork bent instead of straight.
