Question

A ball is dropped from a height of $20 m$ above the surface of water in a lake. The refractive index of water is $4 / 3$ . A fish inside the lake, in the line of fall of the ball, is looking at the ball. At an instant, when the ball is $12.8 m$ above the water surface, the fish sees the speed of ball as-

Solution

The correct option is A $16 m / s$
$v_{b a 11}^{2} = 2 \times 10 \times 7.2$

$\Rightarrow v = 12 m / s$

$x_{i m a g e o f b a l l} = \frac{4}{3} X_{b a l l}$

$v_{i m a g e o f b a l l} = \frac{4}{3} V_{b a l l} = \frac{4}{3} \times 12 = 16 m / s$

The correct option is A $16 m / s$
$v_{b a 11}^{2} = 2 \times 10 \times 7.2$

$\Rightarrow v = 12 m / s$

$x_{i m a g e o f b a l l} = \frac{4}{3} X_{b a l l}$

$v_{i m a g e o f b a l l} = \frac{4}{3} V_{b a l l} = \frac{4}{3} \times 12 = 16 m / s$
