A man in a boat is looking straight down at a fish in the water (n = 1.333) directly beneath him. The fish is looking straight up at the man. They are equidistant from the air/water interface. To the man, the fish appears to be 2.3 m beneath his eyes. To the fish, how far above its eyes does the man appear to be?
