Why do things appear larger or closer underwater?

Objects appear larger and closer underwater due to the way light bends as it passes from water to air, causing refraction. This distortion in the path of light makes objects underwater seem closer and bigger than they actually are when viewed from the surface.


Why are things in water are blurry?

Things in water appear blurry because the light passing through water refracts, or bends, due to the change in density between water and air. This refraction causes the light rays to scatter, resulting in the blurry or distorted appearance of objects when viewed underwater.


Why do things look bigger through a magnifying glass?

A magnifying glass uses curved glass to bend light rays and make objects appear larger. The curved shape causes the light rays to converge, which makes the object appear closer and bigger than it actually is.


Why do things look larger through magnifying lens?

A magnifying lens bends light rays, causing the image to appear larger when it reaches your eye. This is because the lens can focus the light rays in such a way that the object appears to be closer and bigger than it actually is.


If we are travelling in train when we look out through window why nearby objects move in opposite direction and far off objects looks stationary?

it is your perspective, closer things pass by you more quickly because of your field of vision, things farther away are small in a large field of vision, so they move, but more slowly than closer objects because they are not the only thing in your view. You have other things to give perspective.

Why do things move faster when they are closer to the surface of things?

They don't, they just appear to...an optical illusion.


What hand lens use for?

== == It is used to magnify/ or make things appear closer?to magnify small objects


Why do objects in rearview mirrors appear closer than they are?

Objects in rearview mirrors appear closer than they are due to the mirror's curvature, which can create a sense of depth compression. This convex shape of the mirror bends light rays in a way that makes objects seem closer than they actually are.


What is farther California or Colorado?

Further from where or what, exactly? California is much further from me, since I live in Colorado, but Califorinia is closer to a number of things... Oregon, Washington state, the Pacific Ocean, the Mexican border... and Colorado is closer to some things. So what are you looking for here?


Which option can make an object look closer or farther away than it actually is?

Changing the focal length of a lens can make an object look closer or farther away than it actually is. By adjusting the focal length, you can manipulate the perspective and depth of field in your images, giving the illusion of objects being closer or farther away than they truly are.


Why do things appear lighter the further away they are?

Objects appear lighter the further away they are due to atmospheric perspective, where the atmosphere scatters light and reduces contrast as distance increases. This makes objects appear lighter and less distinct as they recede into the distance.


What is an underwater technician?

An underwater technician would be a person who was capable of fixing things underwater.


Do convex mirrors make things look closer or farther away?

farther away, for example the rear view mirrors in your car have a print on them saying "objects in mirror are closer than they appear"


Why do things in distance appear colorless or with less color then closer items when driving?

when the rushing rivers pass through it and water from near by farms


Why do things in a pool appear closer than they actually are?

The refractive index of air (n=1.00) is less than the refractive index of water (1.33) so when light rays transmit through the water the rays are refracted and produce a "virtual image" making the object appear closer.


What things are closer to the moon?
