When the light from the object at the bottom of the pond comes it bends away from the normal at the surface of water. When the refracted rays are backwards, they meet at a point at the lesser depth and for this reason, pond appears shallower than it really are.

Does refraction tend to make objects submerged in water seem shallower or deeper than they really are?
Shallower.
Why do rivers appear shallower than they really are?
Let us consider an object 'O' at the bottom of a river/swimming pool. Light speeds up as it travels from water to air. So, the ray is bent away from the normal. As a result for an observer on the shore, it appears as if the rays are coming from a point 'I', which is just slightly above the bottom of the surface That is why rivers and swimming pools seem shallower than they really are.
How reflection and refraction is used in real life situation?
Reflection: looking in a mirror Refraction: How a pond looks shallower when it is full of water than when it's empty.
If you fill up a sink with water does it appear deeper or shallower?
Due to the refraction of light, a body of water (whether its a sink, pool or lake) will appear more shallow than it actually is.
Is the condition when objects appear larger than they really are?
Yes.
Which is smaller and shallower a lake a pond or a river?
Of the three, a pond is the smallest and most shallow. A river is usually longer than a lake, but more shallow than a lake.

Why water in a rock pool often appears to be much shallower than it is?
Because the light is refracted and so the water appears shallower than it is Because the light is refracted and so the water appears shallower than it is
Are women shallower than men?
No.
Is the condition when objects appear larger than they really are?
Yes.
What do you do if none of your friends will talk to you because your boyfriend is ugly?
Get friends who aren't shallower than a puddle.
Is resolution the condition when objects appear larger than they really are?
Yes.
How a swimming pool looks shallower than it actually is?
It is an illusion that water causes.
Are PFDs more buoyant in deep water than in shallower water?
yes
