A ball is dropped from a height of \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) above the surface of water in a lake. The refractive index of water is \(\frac{4}{3}\). A fish inside the lake, in the line of fall of the ball, is looking at the ball. At an instant, when the ball is \(12.8 \mathrm{~m}\) above the water surface, the fish sees the speed of ball as

  1. A \(9 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(12 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(16 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(21.33 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(16 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v=\sqrt{2 g h}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 7}=12 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

In this case when eye is inside water, \(x_{\text {app. }}=\mu x \Rightarrow \frac{d x_{\text {app. }}}{d t}=\mu \cdot \frac{d x}{d t}\) or \(\quad v_{\text {app. }}=\mu v=\frac{4}{3} \times 12=16 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
