Why does a clear stream always appear to be shallower than it is?
Front
Light rays from the bottom bend away from the normal so that the image is closer to the observer

Back
critical angle
Front
the angle of incidence at which the refracted light makes an angle of 90° with the normal
Back
snell's law
