A pole of length 1.00 m stands half dipped in a swimming pool with water level 50.0 cm higher than the bed. The refractive index of water is 1.33 and sunlight is coming at an angle of 45° with the vertical. Find the length of the shadow of the pole on the bed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
Shadow length `=BA=BD+DA`
`=0.5+0.5 tan r `
Now `1.33=(sin 45^@)/(sinr)`
`rarr sinr=1/(1.33sqrt2)=0.53`
`rarr cosr=sqrt(1-sin^2r)`
`=sqrt(1-(0.53)^2)=0.85`
So, `tanr=0.6235`
`So shadow length `=(0.5)(1+0.6235)`
`=81.2 cm`
