Ah, so if I were to surround the outside with a million eyeballs and a million rays emanating in all directions from one chosen point on the fish, the apparent images would all trace back to the same point above the fish?

I kind of see what you're saying. But that's for small incident angles, i.e. when looking straight down. I've seen the actual derivation for the apparent depth of a pool, You get an equation like: (with d being the apparent depth, D being actual, n1 and n2 are the indeces of refraction and...

You know the proofs for finding the apparent depth of a swimming pool, or object submerged in one? Well, it always assumes the object is directly above the original object. Does anyone know where the assumption comes from? (see below)

Excellent, I wish my book would just say that instead of "lying" for my benefit. I guess we would call the acid a catalyst in this case. Now I'm wondering where the hydroxide is coming from. The H+ is readily available to leave the hydronium, now we have a section of a carbocation... is that...

One of the first addition reactions we learn in a basic organic chemistry class is the hydration of an alkene, that is breaking a double bond by adding water (the H and the OH specifically) across the double bond. The only requirement is that the solution be acidic. I'm wondering if the...

@Greg Bernhardt I have an older account that I made that I much prefer (We have history you know, so I'd like to continue to use it.) If you were to ban THIS account, would I be able to link my old account to the email/facebook page that I'm linked with on this account?

That's right, the visual picture on the 2nd page really helps to see this. The original inside integral (which you have posted 2nd marskman) is integrating first from left to right or, from t= τ (tau) to ∞, then the outside covers the bounds (τ=0 to τ=∞) But then by reversing the order you'll...

On (possibly) a related note. I can see how the Lewis definition, is a general case of the bronsted lowry definition for an acid/base. Can the Bronsted-lowry be a general case of Arrhenius? I've attached a picture. Does anyone agree or disagree with this?
