A fish in an aquarium approaches the left wall at a rate of `3ms^(-1)` observes a fly approaching it at `8ms^(-1)`. If the refractive index of water is `(4//3)`, find the actual velocity of the fly. |
|
Answer» For the fish, the apparent distance of the fly from the wall of the aquarium is `mux,` if x is the actual distance. Then apparent velocity will be `d(mux)//dt rArr (v_("app"))_("fly")= muv_("fly")` Now the fish observes the velocity of the fly to be `8ms^(-1)` `rArr` Apparent relative belocity will be `= 8ms^(-1)` `rArr v_("fish")+(v_("app"))_(" fly ")=8` `3+muv_("fly")=8 rArr v_("fly" )=5xx3/4=3.75ms^(-1)` |
