Consider the situation as shown in the diagram.

Find the distance between bird and fish as seen by (a) bird and (b) fish

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) For bird, fish will appear nearer
At distance `x//mu` from P

`BF^'=y+x/mu`
(b) For fish, bird will appear farther
At distance `muy` from P

`FB^'=x+muy`
