A pool of water appears to be 1.0m deep when viewed vertically from above. If the refractive index of water is 1.33, what is the actual depth of the pool?
  • A.
    0.750m
  • B.
    1.013m
  • C.
    1.330m
  • D.
    13.3000m
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

n = (frac{text {real depth}}{text{apparent depth}})
1.33 = (frac{text {real depth}}{1})
real depth = 1.33cm
