Question

А A pool of water of refractive index

Answer 1

Answer:

Apparent depth = 45 cm

Explanation:

The refractive index of water in a pool, n = 4/3

Real depth, d = 60 cm

We need to find its apparent  depth when viewed vertically through  air.​ The ratio of real depth to the apparent depth is equal to the refractive index of the material. Let the apparent depth is d'. So,

$n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{60}{\dfrac{4}{3}}\\\\d'=45\ cm$

So, the apparent depth is 45 cm.
