Given: A fish is a little way below the surface of a lake. If the critical angle is 49o, then the fish could see things above the water surface within an angular ring at θo
To find the value of θ
Solution:
From the given figure it is clear that,
angular range is twice the critical angle.
Critical angle, θc=49∘
Therefore, θ=2×θc⟹θ=2×49∘⟹θ=98∘
