A fish is vertically below a flying bird moving vertically down toward water surface. The bird will appear to the fish to be

A

moving faster than its speed and also from thereal distance

B

moving faster than its real speed and nearer than its real distance

C

moving slower than its real speed and also nearer than its real distance

D

moving slower than its real speed and away from the real distance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a.

`(mu_(1))/(-u)+(mu_(2))/(v)=(mu_(2)-mu_(1))/(R)`
For a plane surface, `R=oo`
`:. (mu_(1))/(-u)+(mu_(2))/(upsilon)=0`
or ` (mu_(2))/(upsilon)+(mu_(1))/(u)` or `(mu)/(upsilon)-(1)/(u)`
or ` upsilon=mu_(2)u`
Clearly, to the fish, the bird appears farther than its distance.
Again, `(dupsilon)/(dt)=mu(du)/(dt)`
or Apparent speed of bird
`=` Refractive index `xx` Actual speed of bird .

A bird flies down vertically towards a water surface. To a fish inside the water, vertically below the bird, the bird will appear to (i) be farther away than its actual distance (ii) be closer than its actual distance (iii) move faster than its actual speed (iv) move slower than its actual speed

In a lake, a fish rising vertically to the surface of water uniformly at the rate of 3 m/s, observes a bird diving vertically towards the water at the rate of 9 m/s. The actual velocity of the dive of the bird is (given, refractive index of water = 4/3)

A diver under water sees a bird in air, vertically above him. If the actual, height of the bird above the water surface is 'h' , then does it appear at the same height 'h' to the diver ? Explain giving reasons. If mu_(w) is the refractive index of water, find the shift in the bird's position as observed by the diver.
