The process of Light Refraction bends light rays as they pass from one substance to another, depending on the densities of these substances. In the case of water, the light goes from air (lower density) to water (which is denser) so the light is refracted at a smaller angle (with the 'normal' being 0 degrees) than when it entered.
figure 1 shows the light going from low to high density, so the light refracts at a smaller angle.
figure 2 shows the light going from high to low density, so the light refracts at a larger angle

Basically, the light refraction makes objects in a pond seem closer than they actually are
Hope this helps :]
What else can I help you with?
As an object is lowered into a deep hole on the ground what Assumption must be made in regard to the object potential energy?
The assumption made is that the height of the object is constant as it is lowered into the deep hole. This means that the potential energy of the object decreases linearly with respect to the depth of the hole.
Do objects in deep space have weight?
Objects in deep space experience weightlessness due to the absence of gravity. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, and this force diminishes the further away from a massive body an object is. In deep space, objects are freefalling, experiencing only the slight gravitational pulls of distant celestial bodies.
What is a high pressure object?
A high pressure object is an object that contains or creates a force per unit area that is higher than its surrounding environment. Examples include pressurized gas cylinders, hydraulic systems, and deep-sea submarines.
What is the difference between a truly weightless object and a obect that is weightless because it is free fall?
A truly weightless object experiences no gravitational force, such as an object in deep space far from any massive body. An object that is weightless due to free fall is still under the influence of gravity but is in a state of free fall where the force of gravity and the acceleration of the object cancel out, making it feel weightless.
How deep are quicksands?
Quicksand can vary in depth from a few inches to several feet. The depth of quicksand can change based on factors such as the amount of water present, the type of sediment, and the weight of the person or object trying to move through it.
How many ponds r in 4 tons?
Depends on how deep the ponds are.
What is the area of Deep Run Ponds Natural Area Preserve?
The area of Deep Run Ponds Natural Area Preserve is 2,857,080.6342144003 square meters.
How many kilograms equal 170 ponds?
it would very much depend on how big and deep the ponds are.
Is it safe to swim in pond water?
It Really Depends What Pond You Are Swimming In, Because Some Ponds Has Harmful Animals and some ponds can be Dirty and Have Certain Bacteria and also some Ponds are very deep So I'm suggesting That It's not Really Safe For You To swim unless your are a professional and know what you doing
Are lakes generally larger and deeper than ponds?
Yes, lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds. Lakes are usually defined as bodies of water that are larger and deeper than ponds, with no clear size distinction but generally larger than 20 acres. Ponds, on the other hand, are smaller bodies of water that are not as deep.
As an object is lowered into a deep hole on the ground what Assumption must be made in regard to the object potential energy?
The assumption made is that the height of the object is constant as it is lowered into the deep hole. This means that the potential energy of the object decreases linearly with respect to the depth of the hole.
How do you correct this sentence No one never dug a hole that deep before?
No one never dug a hole that deep before
What are habitats where Gastropod mollusks can be found?
Tidal regions, deep waters of the ocean, estuaries, fresh water lakes, ponds, streams, and moist areas on land
What is the background words for the chorus of rolling in the deep?
oh I wish you never had met me tears are gonna fall rolling in the deep
Which pace craft explored the Challenger Deep?
Challenger deep is in the ocean, it was never explored by spacecraft.
Is volvix animal?
Volvix, which is actually spelled volvox is not an animal. Volvox is a type of algae. It is found freshwater areas such as ponds, lagoons and even deep ditches of water.
How big is the deep field galaxies?
it never stops
