Question

A jewel thief hides a diamond by placing it on the bottom of a public swimming pool. He places a circular raft on the surface of the water directly above and centered over the diamond. If the surface of the water is calm and the pool is 2.00 m deep, find the minimum diameter of the raft that would prevent the diamond from being seen.

Step 1

33 \) and refractive index of air, \( n_2 = 1 \). Using Snell's Law: \( \frac{\sin(\theta_2)}{\sin(\theta_1)} = \frac{n_1}{n_2} \), \( \frac{\sin(\theta_2)}{\sin(90^\circ)} = \frac{1.33}{1} \), \( \sin(\theta_2) = 0.75 \), \( \theta_2 = \sin^{-1}(0.75) \), \( Show more…
