A man looks down on a fish of length 20 cm. His eye is 2m above the surface of the water (mu = 4//3) and the fish is 2m below the surface as shown in the figure the ratio of angular width Delta theta of the fish as seen by the man in presence of water to the Delta theta in the absence of water is (Delta theta is small)

A small fish 0.4m below the surface of a lake, is viewed through a simple converging lens of focal length 3m . The lens is kept at 0.2m above the water surface such that the fish lies on the optical axis of the lens. Find the distance of the image of the fish from the lens as seen by the observer. The refractive index of water is 4//3 .

The image of an object O due to reflection from the surface of a lake is elongated due to the ripples on the water surface caused by a light breeze. This is because the ripples act as tilted mirrors as shown. Consider the case where O and the observer E are at the same height above the surface of the lake. If the maximum angle that the ripples make with the horizontal is a, the angular extent delta of the image will be

Unpolarized red light is incident on the surface of a lake at incident angle theta_R . An observer seeing the light reflected from the water surface through a polarizer notices that on rotating the polarizer, the intensity of light drops to zero at a certain orientation. The red light is replaced by unpolarized blue light. The observer sees the same effect with reflected blue light at incident angle theta_B . Then

A point source of light is placed at a distance h below the surface of a large deep lake. (a) Show that the fraction f of the light energy that escapes directly from the water surface is independent of h and is given by f=(1)/(2)-(1)/(2n)sqrt(n^(2)-1) where n is the index of refraction of water. (Note: Absorption within the water and reflection at the surface, except where it is total, have been neglected) (b) Evaluate this ratio for n=4//3 .
