When you look at letters of a newspaper through thick glass, the phenomenon is known as "magnification." The glass acts as a lens, focusing and slightly enlarging the image of the text on the newspaper, making it appear raised. This effect is due to the bending of light rays as they pass through the glass.

When a thick glass slab is placed over some printed matter the letters appear raised when viewed through the glass slab. Why?

When we keep the glass slab over some printed matter, the light coming from the letters (after reflection ) face change of medium at glass-air interface. Since glass has more refractive index than air, the light bends away from the normal as it goes out of glass. This apparently causes us to see the letters raised. Hope this clarified your doubt.
