Apparent Depth in Lenses and Refraction Formulas

Apparent Depth is the perceived depth of an object when viewed through a lens or other optical device, differing from its actual depth due to the effects of refraction or magnification. And is denoted by d_apparent. Apparent Depth is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Apparent Depth is always negative.
