Apparent Depth

To a bird in ...

Question

To a bird in air a fish in water appears to be 30cm from its surface if ^au_w =4/3 then the true depth of fish is:

30cm

40cm

45cm

None of these

Open in App

Solution

Refractive index =real depth/apparent depth
4/3=real depth /30
(430)/3=real depth
Real depth=410=40cms
