Question
Is the formula "Real depth/ Apparent depth $=\mu$" valid if viewed from a position quite away from the normal?
✓
Answer
No, In the derivation of above formulae $\sin\theta\approx\tan\theta$ this can be done only when angle is small. For eye 1 this approximation can be done but not for eye 2.
