Question

draw ray diagram to explain why a pond appears shallower than it actually is?​

Answer 1

Answer:

As these rays get refracted into the air, they bend away from the normal. When these two refracted rays are produced backwards they seem to meet at a point higher than the bottom of the pond. This point gives the apparent position of the bottom of the pond, therefore, the pond appears to be shallower.
