In the water, spoon appears to be disproportionate to the top half. This is an example of refraction. This happens because the light bends at the second medium. As the light passes from air to water, one part of the wave slows down due to contact with the medium, while the other part not passing through the medium is moving faster. The light bends until both parts have passed of light ray from air to water.
