You stand near the edge of a swimming pooland observe through the water an object lying on the bottom of thepool. Which of the following statements correctly describes whatyou see?

Please Choose
The apparent depth of the object is less than the real depth.
The apparent depth of the object is greater than the real depth.
There is no difference between the apparent depth and the actual depth of the object.



Solutions

Expert Solution

refractive index of water=real depth/apparent depth
so apparent depth=real depth/refractive index
as the refractive index of water is 1.33
there will be decrement in the depth
hence it appears as if the depth decreases. so
APPARENT DEPTH OF THE OBJECT IS LESS THAN THE REAL DEPTH.
IS THE CORRECT OPTION.

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headlights that are 0.621m apart. At what distance, in kilometers, are you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source? Take the wavelength of the light to be 559nm and your pupil diameter to be 4.69mm. Answer in km!
