Nothing special. But when light travels from one medium to another (from air to water for example) it is refracted. One answerer said a rainbow. A rainbow is caused by the different wavelengths (colors) of light are refracted at slightly different angles, so that we see different colors appearing at different positions.

How freely water moves into and through soil or rock is called?
permeability
What moves through a semipermeable membrane into an area of what concentration?
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. This is called osmosis.
What percentage of the speed of light in vacuum is the speed of light in water?
When light with wavelength of 589 nanometers moves through water at the temperature of 20° C, its speed is 75% of the speed of light in vacuum.
Does light move faster in oil or water?
