A pool of water appears to be 1.00m deep when viewed vertically from above. What is the actual depth of the pool? [Refractive index of water = 1.33]

A. 13.300m
B. 0.750m
C. 1.013m
D. 1.330m

Correct Answer:

Option D – 1.330m

Explanation

n = Read depth/Apparent depth = 1.33 = Rd/1

Rd = 1.33 x 1 = 1.330m
