A friend throws a coin into a pool. You close your eyes and dive toward the spot where you saw it from the edge of the pool. When you reach the bottom, will the coin be in front of you or behind you? Explain. A) Behind - when you are outside the water, the image of the coin appears closer than the actual coin. B) Behind - when you are outside the water, the image of the coin appears farther away than the actual coin. C) In front - when you are outside the water, the image of the coin appears closer than the actual coin. D) In front - when you are outside the water, the image of the coin appears farther away than the actual coin.

I believe that the answer is B) Behind - When you are outside the water, the image of the coin appears farther away than the actual coin. I hope this helps
