WATER IN CRYSTAL GLASS?????????

now I know this sounds really dumb, but it's gotten me thinking:

HOW can we see water in a crystal glass, or any type of glass, when

BOTH ARE CLEAR!!!!!!!?????????

HUH???????

now think about it........if you told someone that, 'hey, water's clear and the glass is clear, but I can still see the water in the glass'.......

wouldn't that sound odd?

ok,   everybody,,,,,,,YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS,  PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

    Water and most types of glass have different indices of refraction, therefore light waves bend more or less in each thus enabling us to see both.
