AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the apparent height of a person whose actual height is 6 feet when viewed from underwater, we can use the formula that relates the real height (or depth) of an object and its apparent height when viewed from a different medium. The formula is: \[ \text{Apparent Height} = \text{Real Height} \times \text{Refractive Index} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...
