Question

A light source, S, is located 2.0 m below the surface of a swimming pool and 1.5 m from one edge of the pool. The pool is filled with water (n=1.33) to its top. a. At what angle does the light reaching the edge of the pool leave the water? b. Does this cause the pool to appear to be deeper or less deep than it actually is?

Step 1

A light source is placed 2.0 m below the surface of the water and 1.5 m horizontally from the edge of the pool. The light travels through the water, refracts at the water-air interface, and exits into the air. We need to find the angle at which the light exits the Show more…
