Why is it that when you dive for a coin at the bottom of a swimming poolthe coin is not exactly where it appeared to be?

As light changes from one medium to another, it changes speed and bends. This is called refraction. The light rays actually slow down when going down when going from the air to the water. This means that the coin looks like it is in a different location than it actually is.

Why when you dive for a coin at the bottom of a pool the coin is not exactly where it appears to be?

When you hit the bottom of a coin, the sound you hear is due to energy being transferred to the coin, causing it to vibrate. This vibration creates sound waves in the air that we perceive as noise.
