A fish looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horizon. If the refractive index of water is `(4)/(3)` and the fish is 12 cm below the surface, the radius of this circle is cm is

A

`36sqrt(5)`

B

`4sqrt(5)`

C

`36 sqrt(7)`

D

`26//sqrt(7)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`mu=(1)/(sintheta//2)impliessintheta//2=(4)/(3)`
`impliestan theta//2=(sqrt(7))/(3)`
Suppose the radius of this circle is `r`
`implies tan theta//2=(sqrt(7))/(3)=(r)/(h)`
`impliesr=(3h)/(sqrt(7))=(3xx12)/(sqrt(7))=(36)/(sqrt(7))m`
