Apparent Depth

Apparent Depth

### Formula

$$\mu=\frac{Real\ Depth}{Apparent\ Depth}$$

### Alternative Form

$$Apparent\ Depth=\frac{Real\ Depth}{\mu}$$

### Terminologies

- μ → Refractive index.

- Real depth → Actual depth of object.

- Apparent depth → Observed depth.

### Usage

- Used in water depth and refraction problems.
