A fish in water (refractive index nn ) looks at a bird vertically above in the air. If yy is the height of the bird and xx is the depth of the fish from the surface, then the distance of the bird as estimated by the fish is

Options

  1. Ax+y(1+1n)x+y\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)
  2. By+x(1−1n)y+x\left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right)
  3. Cx+y(1−1n)x+y\left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right)
  4. Dx+nyx+n y

Correct answer

D. x+nyx+n y

Step-by-step solution

The distance of the surface of water for the fish =x=x. From the surface, apparent distance of the bird is nyn y. ∴\therefore \quad The total apparent distance =x+ny=x+n y.
