We can demonstrate this in the event that you dont comprehend the equation. 
Assume MM is a point protest at a genuine profundity MAMA underneath the free surface of water XYXY in a tank. 
A beam of light occurrence on XYXY ordinarily along MAMA passes straight along MAA′MAA′.Another beam of light from MM episode at ∠i∠i on XYXY,along MBMB makes tracks in an opposite direction from typical and is refracted at ∠r∠r along BCBC.If we deliver BCBC we will find that it meets OAOA at LL.Therefore LL is virtual picture of MM which shows up when we see from CC.Now the clear profundity is ALAL. 
∠AMB=∠MBN′ 
∠AMB=∠MBN′ 
∠ALB=∠NBC 
∠ALB=∠NBC 
In ∆AMBAMB, 
sini=ABMB 
sin⁡i=ABMB 
In ∆IABIAB, 
sinr=ABLB 
sin⁡r=ABLB 
Presently, 
aμw=ABLB×MBAB=MBLB 
aμw=ABLB×MBAB=MBLB 
Assume that ∠i−−>0∠i−−>0 then B will close to A 
Along these lines, 
aμw=MALA=real depthapparent
