A diver looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horizon. The refractive index of water is 4 3 , and the diver's eyes are 15 cm below the surface of the water. Then the radius of the circle is :
Options
- A15 × 7 3   cm
- B15 × 3 7   cm
- C1 5 × 3 7   cm
- D1 5 × 3 × 5   cm
Correct answer
B. 15 × 3 7   cm
Step-by-step solution
∴    sin  θ c = 1 μ = 3 4 ∴    r h 2 + r 2 = 3 4 ∴    r 2 h 2 + r 2 = 9 1 6 ∴    1 6 r 2 = 9 h 2 + 9 r 2 7 r 2 = 9 h 2 r = h 9 7 = 3 h 7 = 3 7 × 1 5  cm
