A diver at a depth of 1.2 m in clear water (n = 4/3) sees the sky in a cone of semi-vertical angle :

  1. A \( \sin^{-1} 4/3 \)
  2. B \( \tan^{-1} 4/3 \)
  3. C \( \sin^{-1} 3/4 \)
  4. D \( \tan^{-1} 3/4 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \sin^{-1} 3/4 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( n_w \sin \theta_c = n_a \sin 90^\circ \) \( (4/3) \sin \theta_c = 1 \times 1 \) \( \sin \theta_c = 3/4 \) \( \theta_c = \sin^{-1} (3/4) \)
