Explanation

This simulation demonstrates how light refraction affects the apparent depth of an object in a liquid. The refractive index (μ) determines how much the light bends as it passes from the liquid to air, making objects appear shallower than they actually are.

Apparent depth can be calculated using the formula: Apparent Depth = Actual Depth / Refractive Index

In the simulation, you can adjust both the refractive index of the liquid and the actual depth of the object to see how these factors affect the apparent position of the object.
