Solution
The correct option is A True
When the light rays enter a different medium,the light rays often changes it's direction of movement at a certain angle which is known as the refraction of light.Similarly,when the coin is placed in the glass of water the light rays which were emitting from the coin changes it's direction when it travels through the air medium outside the glass of water.
Due to this change in direction of the light rays,the coin appears as it is floating in the glass of water.
That's why the statement mentioned in the question is completely true.
