Question

A fisherman spots a fish underneath the water. It appears that the fish is d₀ = 0.51 m under the water surface at an angle of θ_a = 62 degrees with respect to the normal to the surface of the water. The index of refraction of water is n_w = 1.3 and the index of refraction of air is n_a = 1.

Solve for the numerical value of θ_w in degrees.

Now assume that the real position of the fish is directly below the apparent position, as shown in the figure. Express the real depth of the fish, d, in terms of L and tanθ_w.
