Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Reflection:
When light rays fall on an object, there is a change in direction, and they turn back. This is reflection of light.
Refraction:
When a ray of light passes from one medium to another, it deviates from its original path. This is the refraction of light.
The bottom of a tank containing water seems to be raised. This is because of the 'Refraction of Light'. The light from the bottom of the tank travels from water (a denser medium) to air (a rarer medium) before reaching the viewer.
Therefore the correct statement would be that the bottom of the water tank filled with water appears raised due to the refraction of light.
