Answer
greater
Reason — When an object is placed in a rarer medium (like air) and viewed from a denser medium (like water), the light rays coming from object when passing from air to water, bend towards the normal and appear to be coming from a new point such that the distance appears greater than the actual distance.

An object in a denser medium when viewed from a rarer medium appears to be raised. The shift is maximum for:
- red light
- violet light
- yellow light
- green light
The shift by which an object appears to be raised depends on:
- the refractive index of the medium
- the thickness of denser medium
- the wavelength of incident light
- all of the above

How is the refractive index of a medium related to the real and apparent depths of an object in that medium?
