When light passes from one medium (like air) to another (like water), its speed and direction change, causing the light to bend or refract. This bending makes objects appear to be in a different spot when viewed from above the water's surface, due to the way the light is distorted as it moves through the water.

Why do things get darker when there wet?
When the things are wet, the water fills in some of the spaces between the fibers. This water acts just like a fiber optic cable, carrying the light through the material instead of reflecting it back to your eye. Since more of the light goes through the material, less of the light is reflected back and the wet spot looks darker.
WHY SOUND MAKE A LIGHT SPOT DANCE?
When sound waves hit a thin surface, they can create vibrations that cause the surface to move slightly. This movement can be enough to make a light spot appear to dance or move around due to the vibrations induced by the sound waves. The phenomenon is known as a "Chladni figure" or "singing sand" effect, where different frequencies of sound can create different patterns of movement in the light spot.

Do rainbows appear in the same place on different days?
If you are in the same place, the rainbow will always appear in the same place because it all has to do with the angle you are at in relation to the sun (42 degrees - see the related link). So if you are always in the same spot (e.g. at your desk at work), the sun will be coming from the same same angle, creating the rainbow in the same spot. My understanding of what I've read, you'll only see a rainbow in a certain place in the sky from the same spot at a certain time of the year because the sun moves depending on the season. Also, it is not only the angle of the sun but also the height of it that has to be the same.
Why is it when you look at a coin in water it isn's where it appears to be?
