AI Generated Solution

To find the real depth of the swimming pool, we can use the relationship between the real depth (D_real), the apparent depth (D_apparent), and the refractive index (n) of the medium (water in this case). The formula we will use is: \[ n = \frac{D_{real}}{D_{apparent}} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - Apparent depth (D_apparent) = 10 m ...
