Answer:

Below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider two rays originating from the bottom of the pond. As these rays get refracted into the air, they bend away from the normal. ... This point gives the apparent position of the bottom of the pond, therefore, the pond appears to be shallower.

Hope it helps....
