Welcome to the Pool Rescue Refraction Simulator! In this experiment, you'll learn how light behaves when it travels through different materials, like air and water. As a student lifeguard, you'll observe how objects underwater appear to be in a different position than they actually are. This effect is caused by the bending of light as it moves from air to water, a phenomenon known as refraction. By adjusting the depth of a submerged rescue target and observing its apparent position, you'll discover the relationship between actual depth and perceived depth in a swimming pool.
| Actual Depth (cm) | Apparent Depth (cm) | Ratio (Apparent/Actual) |
