A 1.8-m-tall diver is standing completely submerged on the bottom of a swimming pool, in 3.0 m of water. You are sitting on the end of the diving board, almost directly over her.

Required:
How tall does the diver appear to be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]H=1.35m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height [tex]h=1.8m[/tex]

Depth of Water [tex]d=3.0m[/tex]

Where

Refraction index of water [tex]n = 4 / 3[/tex]

Generally the equation for Apparent height of the diver  is mathematically given by

[tex]H=h\frac{h}{n}[/tex]

[tex]H=\frac{1.8}{\frac{4}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]H=1.35m[/tex]
