Optics Question 802

Question: A ball is dropped from a height of 20 m above the surface of water in a lake. The refractive index of water is 4.3. A fish inside the lake, in the line of fall of the ball, is looking at the ball. At an instant, when the ball is 12.8 m above the water surface, the fish sees the speed of ball as [Takeg=10m/s2]

Options:

A) 9m/s

B) 12m/s

C) 16m/s

D) 21.33 m/s

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Consider the activity A to B Applying v2u2=2as

v202=2×10×7.2

v=12m/s

The velocity of ball as perceived by fish is v=wμ×v=43×12=16m/s
