(4) refraction Explanation: This phenomenon is because of refraction of light. The lines of sight intersect at a higher position than where the actual rays originated. This causes the water to appear shallower than it really is.

Last Answer : (2) Due to refraction Explanation: Water in a swimming pool or water tank appears shallower than its depth because of the refraction of light. The light travels straight as long as it is in the water, but if it emerges obliquely from the water into the air it is bent downward toward the surface....
