A submarine is observed to rise from a real depth off 80 m to 60 m in water. calculate the change in apparent depth.
[Refraction index of water (4)/3]
A
45 m
B
80 m
C
15 m
D
60 m
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: C
Refraction index (n)= (Real depth)/App. depth
For 80 m Real depth: (4)/3 = (80)/App. depth
App. dept = (80 x 3)/4 = 60 m
For 60 m real depth; (4)/3 = (60)/ App. depth
App. depth = (60 x 3)/4 = 45 m
∴change in App. depth = 60 -45 = 15 m
