A leaf frozen into a pond in winter is 53 mm below the surface of the ice. How far down does the leaf seem to be? (nice = 1.31). Round your answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

Refractive index = Real depth / Apparent depth

Given real depth = 53 mm

R I = (n)ice= 1.31

Apparent Depth = Real Depth /1.31

=(53/1.31 ) mm
