Question

A fish F, in the pond is at a depth of 0.8 m from the water surface and is moving vertically upward with velocity 2 ms1. At the same instant, a bird B is at a height of 6 m from the water surface and is moving downward with velocity 3 ms1. At this instant, both are on the same vertical line as shown in the figure. Which of the following statement(s) are correct?

A
Height of B, observed by F (from itself), is equal to 5.30 m

Solution

The correct option is C Height of B, observed by F (from itself), is equal to 8.80 m
If an object is at a distance x from a plane refracting surface and is viewed normally, then it appears at a distance xμ from the surface, where μ is refractive index of that medium (in which it is situated) with respect to the medium in which observer is situated.
Suppose height of bird from water surface is x and depth of fish from the surface is y, then depth of fish, as observed by the bird will be equal to r1=x+yμ (i)
where μ is refractive index of water with respect to air.
r1=6.60 m
Hence, option (b) is correct.
Height of bird, as observed by the fish will be equal to
r2=xμ+y (ii)
Where μ is refractive index of air with respect to water.
Now, μ=1μ=34
Hence, r2=8.80 m
Hence, option (a) is wrong while (c) is correct .
