A SCUBA diver is practicing in a calm swimming pool. The swimming pool has a large, convex mirror above it. The distance between the top of the water and the surface of the mirror is 199.5cm. The diver is a distance of 180.3cm beneath the surface of the pool. The mirror has a radius of curvature of 213.6cm. The water has an index of refraction of n = 1.54. The index of refraction of air is n = 1. This is illustrated in the image below. What is the location of the diver's reflection in the mirror, relative to the surface of the water (positive is above the water, negative is below), as would be seen by someone located above the water, looking into the mirror? cm
