A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".

Why do things look bigger when you look at it through water?
water bends or refracts light. also the shape and type of material of the container may make the object look bigger E.G some types of glass act as magnifying glasses or rounded containers may do the same.
Look for objects that are about the size of 1 cubit?
length of the printer
Do all transparent objects or substances bend light the same amount?
No. The amount that a particular medium bends light is related to the speed of light within that medium, not its transparency. The medium that light travels through affects the light's speed, and the greater the reduction of speed, the greater the angular distortion. For example, light travels faster through normal air than through glass or water, so when light hits a sheet of glass or a water droplet at an angle, it slows down and changes direction; when it hits the other side of the glass or water droplet and goes back into air it speeds up and changes direction again. if the two sides are perfectly parallel the light travels on in the same direction, but if they are not (as in a prism or a round water droplet), the light can continue on in a different direction. in fact, different wavelengths of light are deflected different amounts by entry into or exit from a given medium, which is what produces spectrums from prisms and rainbows from suspended water droplets. You can test this in a pool, pond, or bathtub: notice how when you look straight down into the water things are not very distorted (though they appear to be a little closer than you'd expect), but when you bend down and look into the water at an angle, objects that are straight look like they have a distinct bend in them.
What you want to look at under a microscope is put on one of these?
A slide.
Why doe the water not come out of the sink facets but works everywhere else?
if you look under the sink, you will probably see a cutoff valve going up to the sink faucet. turn this on. if that does not fix it, then change you faucet fixture.
