See Fig. and answer the following question.
a. Find apparent height of the bird.
b. Find apparent depth of the fish.
c. At what distance will the bird appear to the fish ?
d. At what distance will the fish appear to the bird?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. Here bird is an object and fish is an observer. Hence, apparent height observed by the fish
`d_B^(')=d/n_("rel")=d/((n_("air")/n_("water")))rArrd_B^(')=36/(1/((4/3)))=36/(3//4)=48m`
b. Here the fish is an object and the bird is an observer . Hence, apparent height observed by the bird
`d_F^(')=d/n_("rel")=d/((n_("water")/n_("air")))rArrd_F^(')=36/(4//3)=27m`
c. For the fish, the bird will be observed at a distance `d_B^(')` from the fish: `d_B=36+48=84m`
d. For the bird, the fish will be observed at a distance `'d_F'` from the bird: `d_F= 27+36=63m`
