Answer:
7.98 m
Explanation:
In the given question,
distance above surface= 2 m
Distance penny from person = 8 m
Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.
The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).
Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth
real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth
Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2
= 6 m
therefore, real depth = 4/3 x apparent depth
= 1.33 x 6
= 7.98
thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.
It could result in it not being good for your joints, as well as in the long run but shouldn't cause problems when your a child. I hope this helps your question!
