An object in a denser medium when viewed from a rarer medium appears to be raised. This is due to refraction. The dispersion of white light into a spectrum occurs because the different colors are refracted by different amounts by the water medium. Violet light is refracted most by the medium and red light is refracted least. Below is the diagrammatic representation.
