A person stands at the deep end of a swimming pool and looks at his dive mask which is at the bottom of the pool at a depth of 3.19 m. The index of refraction for water is 1.33. At what depth does the person see his dive mask (apparent depth in meters)? Your answer should be a number with three decimal places, do not include the unit.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.398

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we are required to use the following information and the question expects us to give depth at which theask is seen.

Dn = D x nobservation/n object

This is the formula for apparent depth

Depth = 3.19

The index of refraction for water is 1.33

3.19x1/1.33

= 3.19/1.33

= 2.398m

the person see his dive mask at

2.398m (apparent depth in meters
