Answer:

A. 4.82 cm

B. 24.66 cm

Explanation:

The depth of water = 19.6 cm

Distance of fish  = 6.40 cm

Index of refraction of water = 1.33

(A). Now use the below formula to compute the apparent depth.

d_{app} = \frac{n_{air}}{n_{water}} \times d_{real} \\= \frac{1}{1.33} \times 6.40 \\= 4.82 cm.

(B). the depth of the fish in the mirror.

d_{real} = 19.6 cm + (19.6 cm – 6.40 cm) = 32.8 cm

Now find the depth of reflection of the fish in the bottom of the tank.

d_{app} = \frac{n_{air}}{n_{water}} \times d_{real} \\d_{app} = \frac{1}{1.33} \times 32.8  = 24.66\\

Hello, I wanted an answer from a mathematician. The number 1.04 is closer to the number 1, 2, 1.25 or 1.5.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

Of the 4 numbers given, the answer is 1 or A

If you take the absolute value of abs(1 - 1.04) you get 0.04.

(2 - 1.04) = 0.96

1.25 - 1.04 = .21

1.5 - 1.04 = 0.46

The last three are all larger than 0.04

Note: absolute value means the positive difference between 2 numbers (even  though it is negative). If it is negative, absolute value makes it positive.
