Why does water make things look wavey?



Friday, I posted about the visual distortion that heat waves cause.  Visible light traveling through water under goes a similar distortion.  My question was, why?

The answer is that electromagnetic waves move more slowly In water than air.  Again, as the water molecules move, the EM waves may move with them.

Thanks for reading!
