A fish is vertically below a flying bird moving vertically down toward water surface. The bird will appear to the fish to be

A

moving faster than its speed and also from thereal distance

B

moving faster than its real speed and nearer than its real distance

C

moving slower than its real speed and also nearer than its real distance

D

moving slower than its real speed and away from the real distance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a.

`(mu_(1))/(-u)+(mu_(2))/(v)=(mu_(2)-mu_(1))/(R)`
For a plane surface, `R=oo`
`:. (mu_(1))/(-u)+(mu_(2))/(upsilon)=0`
or ` (mu_(2))/(upsilon)+(mu_(1))/(u)` or `(mu)/(upsilon)-(1)/(u)`
or ` upsilon=mu_(2)u`
Clearly, to the fish, the bird appears farther than its distance.
Again, `(dupsilon)/(dt)=mu(du)/(dt)`
or Apparent speed of bird
`=` Refractive index `xx` Actual speed of bird .
