A lamp is installed at the bottom of a pool filled with water. The pool has depth d. The lamp produces light rays in all directions, but light only escapes from the top surface of the water within a circular region which has diameter D.
(a) Explain why this effect occurs?
(b) If the depth of the pool is 50 cm. Find the diameter D.
