To solve the problem of finding the apparent depth of a swimming pool with a stone at the bottom, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Apparent Depth The apparent depth of an object submerged in a medium is the depth at which it appears to be when viewed from a different medium. In this case, we have a stone at the bottom of a swimming pool (in water) and we are viewing it from the air. ### Step 2: Use Snell's Law According to Snell's law, when light passes from one medium to another, the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction is given by: \[ \mu \sin(i) = n \sin(r) \] ...

Consider the situation in figure. The bottom of the pot is reflecting plane mirror , S is small fish is a human eye . Refractive index of water is mu . Fish can see two images of human eye , first due to refractive only and other due to refraction and than reflection . Distance of these images from fish are S_(1) "and" S_(2) respectively . Human eye can also see the two images of fish, first due to refraction only and other due to reflection and then refraction . Distance of these images from human eye are S_(3) "and" S_(4) respectively .
