Chapter 33.2, Problem 33.2TYU
You are standing on the shore of a lake. You spot a tasty fish swimming some distance below the lake surface. (a) If you want to spear the fish, should you aim the spear (i) above, (ii) below, or (iii) directly at the apparent position of the fish? (b) If instead you use a high-power laser to simultaneously kill and cook the fish, should you aim the laser (i) above, (ii) below, or (iii) directly at the apparent position of the fish?

A champion dart thrower has decided that he could easily win a spear fishing contest. Unfortunately, he does not know about Snell's Law and loses miserably. The spear is thrown from a height h = 0.90 meters above the surface of the water. The spear strikes the top surface of the water at a distance of L = 3.71 meters from the edge. The fish is swimming a distance x = 1.96 meters to the right of the place where the spear hits the water. The index of refraction of the salt water is n = 1.38.Determine the angle ? = degreesDetermine the angle ? = degreesDetermine the depth at which the fish is swimming d = metersWhich of the following statements is true?
The figure is correct, the fish swims below the spear.The figure is incorrect, the fish swims above the spear.
NOTE: Use the water index of refraction as specified in the text, not one from memory.
