A diver under water sees a bird in air, vertically above him. If the actual, height of the bird above thewater surfaceis 'h' , then does it appear at the same height 'h' to the diver ? Explain giving reasons. If mu_(w) is therefractive index of water, find theshift in thebird'sposition as observed by the diver. |

Answer» Solution :(i) What happens to the light ray when it enters an optically denser medium from an optically rarer medium? Will the light raysentering WATER appear to come from theoriginal position? When a person observes an object in water therefractive index, `mu_(W) =("REAL DEPTH")/("apparent depth")` How does the above formula change if theperson observes the object in air from water? (ii) Shift = `h(mu_(w) -1)` |
