Water bends or refracts light, not only do things look bigger they are not where they appear to be.

Why do objects look larger under water?

Objects appear larger underwater due to the refractive index of water. This causes light rays to bend as they pass through water, which makes objects look closer and larger than they actually are. Additionally, the distortion caused by the water can magnify the appearance of objects.


Do objects look larger or smaller when you look at them through the side of a water-filled glass explain?

Objects will look larger when viewed through the side of a water-filled glass due to refraction. Light bends as it passes through the water and then again when it enters the air, causing the object to appear magnified.


What bends light to make objects look larger?

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

Yes, refraction can make objects appear larger and closer when looking through a mask underwater. This is due to the bending of light as it passes from water to air, making objects appear closer than they actually are.


Is it true that A microscope is an instrument that makes distant objects look larger?

No.

What is it called when water droplets collide to form larger objects?

When water droplets collide and merge to form larger objects, it is called coalescence. This process is common in cloud formation and precipitation.


How much larger and closer do objects appear underwater and why?

Objects appear larger and closer underwater due to the refraction of light. Light waves bend when they pass from one medium (air) to another (water), causing the underwater object to look magnified and closer than it actually is.


Will an object with a larger density than water will float in water?

No, an object with a larger density than water will sink in water. Objects float when they have a lower density than the liquid they are placed in.


What are lenses that make objects look larger?

You need a convex lens to magnify an image.
