If you look underwater are things further away or closer than they appear?
closer
What are the effects of refraction?
In water objects look closer then they really are.
Is light bent towards or away from the medium in water?
Light bends towards the denser medium. If the light passes at an angle from air into water the angle will increase. An object underwater will appear closer to you than it actually is when you look down into the water at an angle.
If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the objects that underwater?
Look at the LAST WORD of the question, they switch it sometimes if it is: Underwater than it is TRUE, If it's Surface of the water than it is FALSE ~
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
