Answer:

The actual distance is  [tex]d_a = 0.3233\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  distance of the can is d =  43 cm  =  0.43 m

     

Generally the actual distance is mathematically represented as

         [tex]d_a = [\frac{ n_a }{n_w} ]* d[/tex]

Where  [tex]n_a , n_w[/tex] are the refractive index of air and water and their value is  

         [tex]n_a = 1 , \ \ \ n_w = 1.33[/tex]

So

       [tex]d_a = [\frac{ 1 }{1.33} ]* 0.43[/tex]

       [tex]d_a = 0.3233\ m[/tex]
