To a fish under water, viewing obliquely, a fisherman standing on the bank of a lake looks
- A Taller than what he actually is
- B Same height as he actually is
- C Taller or shorter depending on the refractive index of water
- D Shorter than what he actually is
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Taller than what he actually is
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When a fish looks at an object outside the water, the light rays travel from the rarer medium (air) to the denser medium (water). According to the laws of refraction, when light travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. Let the height of the…
