To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving the point source of light above the water surface and the perfectly reflecting plane bottom of the vessel. ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have a vessel filled with water to a depth \( d \) and a point source of light located at a height \( h \) above the water surface. The refractive index of water is given as \( \mu = \frac{4}{3} \). ### Step 2: Determine the Effective Depth of Water When light travels from air (above the water) into water, it bends due to refraction. The effective depth of the water can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
