Question

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.

Answer 1

Answer: Behind you

Step-by-step explanation:

The edge of the pool is the boundary of two different mediums-air and water. the light from coin would bend away from the normal at the interface of the two mediums before reaching the eyes. It means the coin would be closer than expected position and hence on reaching the bottom, the coin would be found behind you.
