There is a branch hanging from a tree on the bank of a lake. It is at a height of `h_(1)` from the surface of water. A diver under water sees it at height of `h_(2)` . What is the relation between `h_(1) and h_(2)`? Given, `mu_(w) = 1.33`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the object is situated in a rarer medium and it is seen from the denser medium,
`mu = (("apparent heigher of the object")/("from the surface of water"))/(("real heigher of the object")/("from the surface of water")) = (h_(2))/(h_(1))`
`or, " " 1.33 = (h_(2))/(h_(1)) or, h_(2) = 1.33 h_(1)`
