Does refraction cause objects to appear larger and closer when looking through a mask during a dive?

yes it does
it is like a situation where you look through glasses everything that you look through when you look through glass plastic etc it appears larger and closer

What phenomenon makes objects appear to bend water?
Refraction of light
Why do a pencil appear to be bent or broken when seen through the side of the glass?
Because of refraction of light
What do we use to make distant objects appear closer and larger?
If you use warm colors like Red, Orange it would make the objects appear closer than they are
What causes a pencil to look bent in water?
Water can cause a distortion of the light and in turn causes optical illusions. The water refracts light in such a way that objects viewed through light can appear bent, or angled sharply. This is a function of refraction.
Objects appear fuzzy through a material that is?
Translucent material
What phenomenon makes objects to appear to bend in water?
refraction of light
What phenomenon makes objects appear to bend water?
Refraction of light
What is the best obsevation of refration of light?
The best observation of refraction of light is by observing objects that are in water. By observing objects that are in water, the objects usually appear as if they are not straight.
How can refraction make objects look?
Refraction occurs when light changes speed as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to change direction. This change in direction can make objects appear distorted or bent when viewed through the refracting medium, such as a lens or water.
What happens to the finger as seen through the water?
When looking at objects in water they appear distorted. this is due to the ripples and reflections in the water.
Why is it when you look in a pond from shore objects are not what they appear to be?
I believe the objects are what they appear to be, but not where they appear to be. This is due to the bending (refraction) of light waves as they travel through the water. The light coming to your eyes from the objects must pass through water, and then transition to air. The angle at which the light hits the boundary between the air and water determines how much the beam is bent. If you look straight down at an object in the water, it will appear to be in the correct place and orientation, but any other angle change the light, and therefore distorts the image.

Why does the water in a swimming pool look more shallow from the outside than when you step in?
This phenomenon occurs due to the refraction of light as it travels from the air into the water. When light enters the water at an angle, it changes speed and bends, causing objects beneath the water's surface to appear shifted and closer to the surface than they actually are. This refraction effect makes the water appear shallower when viewed from the outside.
