A fish inside a pond appears to be at a depth of 1.5m when viewed vertically from above. The refractive index of the water in the pound is 1.3. Calculate the apparent displacement of the fish
2.50m
1.95m
1.50m
0.45m
Selitys
Real depth = n x apparent depth
= 1.3 x 1.5 = 1.95m
Apparent displacement = 1.95 - 1.5 = 0.45m
= 1.3 x 1.5 = 1.95m
Apparent displacement = 1.95 - 1.5 = 0.45m
