(a) To the fish, how far away does the watcher appear to be? (Hint: The watcher is the object. Light from that object passes through the wall's outside surface, which acts as a refracting sur- face. Find the image produced by that surface. Then treat that im- age as an object whose light passes through the wall's inside sur- face, which acts as another refracting surface.)
