The correct Answer is:
To find the distance of the final image of the bird from the bird itself, we can break down the problem into several steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Height of the bird above the water surface, \( h = 2 \, \text{m} \) - Depth of the swimming pool, \( d = 1 \, \text{m} \) - Refractive index of water, \( \mu_w = \frac{4}{3} \) 2. **Calculate the Apparent Height from the Water Surface:** - The apparent height of the bird when viewed from the water surface can be calculated using the formula: \[ h_{\text{apparent}} = h \times \mu_w \] - Substituting the values: \[ h_{\text{apparent}} = 2 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \, \text{m} \] 3. **Calculate the Total Distance from the Bottom of the Pool:** - Since the depth of the pool is \( 1 \, \text{m} \), the total distance from the bottom of the pool to the apparent height is: \[ h_{\text{total}} = h_{\text{apparent}} + d = \frac{8}{3} + 1 = \frac{8}{3} + \frac{3}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \, \text{m} \] 4. **Calculate the Position of the Image:** - The image formed by the reflection at the bottom of the pool will be at the same distance below the bottom surface as the apparent height above the water surface: \[ h_{\text{image}} = h_{\text{total}} = \frac{11}{3} \, \text{m} \] 5. **Calculate the Apparent Height After Refraction Back to Air:** - When light travels from water (denser medium) to air (rarer medium), the apparent height is calculated as: \[ h_{\text{apparent, final}} = \frac{h_{\text{image}}}{\mu_w} = \frac{\frac{11}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{11}{4} \, \text{m} \] 6. **Calculate the Distance from the Bird to the Final Image:** - The distance from the bird (which is \( 2 \, \text{m} \) above the water surface) to the final image is: \[ \text{Distance} = h_{\text{apparent, final}} + h = \frac{11}{4} + 2 = \frac{11}{4} + \frac{8}{4} = \frac{19}{4} \, \text{m} \] - Thus, the distance of the final image of the bird from the bird itself is: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{19}{4} \, \text{m} \approx 4.75 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer: The distance of the final image of the bird from the bird itself is approximately \( 4.75 \, \text{m} \).
