Q124 / 160 · WBJEE 2010 · Physics

The radius of the light circle observed by a fish at a depth of 12 meter is (refractive index of water $=4 / 3$ )

  • A
    $36 \sqrt{7}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\frac{36}{\sqrt{7}}$
  • C
    $36 \sqrt{5}$
  • D
    $4 \sqrt{5}$

Solution

$$ \text { Hints : } r=\frac{h}{\sqrt{\mu^2-1}}=\frac{12}{\sqrt{\frac{16}{9}-1}}=\frac{12 \times 3}{\sqrt{7}}=\frac{36}{\sqrt{7}} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
