Answer:
D = 2.828 m
Explanation:
given,
distance of source of light = 1.24 m below surface of pool
refractive index of the water = n₁ = 1.33
refractive index of air = n₂ = 1
refraction angle be = 90°
let C be the critical angle
Radius = d tan C
d is the depth of the source
Using Snell's law
n₁ sin C = n₂ sin R
1.33 x sin C = 1 x sin 90°
C = 48.75°
hence,
R = 1.24 x tan 48.75°
R = 1.414 m
Diameter = 2 x R
D = 2 x 1.414
D = 2.828 m
