In searching the bottom of a pool at night, a watchman shines a narrow beam of light from his flashlight, 1.3 m above the water level, onto the surface of the water at a point d = 2.9 m from his foot at the edge of the pool. Part A Where does the spot of light hit the bottom of the h = 2.4-m-deep pool? Measure from the bottom of the wall beneath his foot.
Refractive index of air = n1 = 1.0003
Refractive index of water = n2 = 1.333
Height of the flashlight above the water level = AB = 1.3 m
Distance where the light hits the water = BF = 2.9 m
Depth of the pool = BC = 2.4 m
The light hits the bottom of the pool at point E.
Tan1 = AB/BF
Tan1 = 1.3/2.9 = 0.448
1 = 24.145o
2 = 90 - 1
2 = 90 - 24.145
2 = 65.855o
By Snell's Law,
n1Sin2 = n2Sin3
(1.0003)Sin(65.855) = (1.333)Sin3
Sin3 = 0.6847
3 = 43.21o
BC = FD = 2.4 m
BF = CD = 2.9 m
Tan3 = ED/FD
Tan(43.21) =ED/2.4
ED = 2.254 m
EC = ED + DC
EC = 2.254 + 2.9
EC = 5.154 m
The spot of light hits the bottom of the pool at a distance of 5.154 m from the bottom of the wall beneath the foot of the watchman.

You are standing in a 1.5-m-deep swimming pool at night. The water is very still. You hold a laser pointer just above the water's surface and shine it nearly parallel to the surface, but tilted slightly down so that the beam enters the water 3.5mfrom you. How far from you does the beam strike the bottom of the pool? Index of refraction of the water is 1.33.
A flashlight on the bottom of a 3.95 m deep swimming pool sends a ray upward and at an angle so that the ray strikes the surface of the water 1.65 m from the point directly above the flashlight. What angle (in air) does the emerging ray make with the water's surface?
