What is theradius of the illumination when seen above from inside a swimming pool from a depth of 10 m on a sunny day? What is the total angle of view? [ Give refractive index of water is 4/3]

Answer»

Solution :Give: n = 4/3,d = 10 m
Radiua of illumination, R = `(d)/(sqrt(n^(2) - 1))`
`R = (10)/(sqrt((4//3)^(2)-1))=(10xx3)/(sqrt(16-9)),R=(30)/(sqrt(7)) = 11.32`
To find the ANGLE of the VIEW of the cone, `i_(r) = SIN^(-1) ((1)/(n))`
`i_(E)=sin^(-1)((1)/(4//3))=sin^(-1)((3)/(4))=48.6^(@)`
The total angle of view is, `2i_(c ) = 2 xx 48.6^(@) = 97.2^(@)`
