Answer:

30cm

Explanation:

assume that the eyes are substantially above the water so that sin(theta) is approximately theta.

( small angle approximation).

The point at which a ray leaving the fish hits the surface of the water is x to the side of the centreline and the depth of the water is d

x/d = sin( angle of incidence)

if the apparent depth of the water is h then

x/h = sin( angle of refraction)

and applying snells law

1 sin ( theta air) = 1.33 sin( theta water)

1 * x/h = 1.33 * x/d

d/h = 1.33

or h/d = 1/1.33

h/39 = 1.33

h = 39 /1.33 so that is the apparent depth of the stream assuming:-

1. Your eyes are almost directly overhead

and

2. your eyes are a significant distance above the surface of the water.

x/d = 1.33 x/h

h/d =39/1.3

= 30cm

Explain how soilds non metals are different from solid metals
marysya [2.9K]
Solid metal is all different types of metals or some thing that a magnet can pick up that's a full hard solid

but a non metal is everything not metal that's a solid like plastic a hot glue gun can burn throught plastic and not metal

so in conclusion metal is stronger and thicker than non modal things
