A swimming pool is 1.4 m deep and 12 m long. Is it possible for you to dive to the very bottom of the pool so people standing on the deck at the end of the pool do not see you?

Part A

Assume you dive to the very bottom of the pool so people standing on the deck at the end of the pool can see you. Find the minimum height of the person's eyes at the far side of the pool, so you would be observable by this person. Take an angle 48.5∘ for a ray that is incident at the water-air interface (nwater = 1.33).

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Part B

Therefore, is it possible for you to dive to the very bottom of the pool so people standing on the deck at the end of the pool do not see you?
