Question

A fish looks outside water. It is situated at a depth of 12 cm below water surface. if the refractive index of water is 4/3 then radius of the circle through which it can see will be
  1. 12×37cm
  2. 12×3cm
  3. 12×35cm
  4. 12×53cm

A
12×35cm
B
12×37cm
C
12×3cm
D
12×53cm
Solution

As shown in the figure it can see an conical view with cone angle θc (critical angle)

θc=sin11μ=sin134

R=12tanθc=12×37.
