Answer:
A. 4.82 cm
B. 24.66 cm
Explanation:
The depth of water = 19.6 cm
Distance of fish = 6.40 cm
Index of refraction of water = 1.33
(A). Now use the below formula to compute the apparent depth.
[tex]d_{app} = \frac{n_{air}}{n_{water}} \times d_{real} \\= \frac{1}{1.33} \times 6.40 \\= 4.82 cm.[/tex]
(B). the depth of the fish in the mirror.
[tex]d_{real} = 19.6 cm + (19.6 cm – 6.40 cm) = 32.8 cm[/tex]
Now find the depth of reflection of the fish in the bottom of the tank.
[tex]d_{app} = \frac{n_{air}}{n_{water}} \times d_{real} \\d_{app} = \frac{1}{1.33} \times 32.8 = 24.66\\[/tex]
