Sunlight strikes the surface of a lake. A diver sees the Sun at an angle of 38.6\deg with respect to the vertical. What angle do the Sun's rays in air make with the vertical?
After a long day of driving you take a late-night swim in a motel swimming pool. When you go to your room, you realize that you have lost your room key in the pool. You borrow a powerful flashlight and walk around the pool, shining the light into it. The light shines on the key, which is lying on the bottom of the pool, when the flashlight is held 1.2 m above the water surface and is directed at the surface a horizontal distance of 1.5 m from the edge. If the water here is 4.0 m deep, how far is the key from the edge of the pool? (Given refractive index of water is = 1.33) 1.5 m 1.2 m 4.0 m
