A tourist stands on the centerline of the niche, 2.00 m out from its deepest point, and whispers “Hello.” Where is the sound concentrated after reflection from the niche?
20. A person looking into an empty container is able to see the far
edge of the container's bottom as shown in Figure P34.20a.
The height of the container is h, and its width is d. When the
container is completely filled with a fluid of index of refrac-
tion n and viewed from the same angle, the person can see
the center of a coin at the middle of the container's bottom as
shown in Figure P34.20b. (a) Show that the ratio h/dis given by
n² – 1

(b) Assuming the container has a width of 8.00 cm and is
filled with water, use the expression above to find the height
of the container. (c) For what range of values of n will the
center of the coin not be visible for any values of h and d?
