A fish swimming in the sea in water with an index of refraction of 1.33 observes theSun to be 30 degrees away from the vertical. How far from the vertical (to the nearestdegree, i.e. as an angle) would a fisherman sitting nearby on the deck of a boat (indexof refraction of air is 1.00) see the Sun?Answer:

Given:Angle observed by the fish, r=30oAngle of incidence=irefractive index of sea water,…
