← A fish is 0.7 m below the surface of a still pond, and a bird is 1.6 m above the surface, on the same vertical line. The refractive index of water is 1.33. How far from itself does the fish think the bird is?
Glass of refractive index 1.52 is shaped into a prism with an angle of 46° between its working faces. A ray goes through it symmetrically. By how many degrees is the ray turned from its original direction? →
