A catfish is 2.4 m below the surface of a smooth lake. (a) What is the diameter of the circle on the surface through which the fish can see the world outside the water? (b) If the fish descends, does the diameter of the circle increase, decrease, or remain the same? Assume that the index of refraction of water is 1.333.
The fish can see the outside world until the angle of incidence becomes greater than critical angle from water to air. We use this to find the required solution as shown below.

This concludes the answers. If there is any mistake or
omission, let me know in the comments immediately and I will fix
it....

The waves on the surface of a lake form a nearly spherical surface near peak of the wave, as shown in the image below. A bug is flying some distance above the surface of the water, as shown, and is being watched by a fish. The index of refraction of the water is ?=1.3 n = 1.3 . The fish is at a depth of 180cm, and the bug is flying a distance 32cm above the surface. The radius of...

PRINTER VERSION 4 Аск Chapter 26, Problem 028 A point source of light is submerged 3.0 m below the surface of a lake and emits rays in all directions. On the surface of the lake, directly above the source, the area illuminated circle. What is the maximum radius that this cirde could have? Take the refraction index of water to be 1.333. Number Units the tolerance is +/-5% SHOW HINT
circle please Problem 2 A submarine is a distance L = 500 m below the surface of the ocean and sends a radio signal up to a battleship at the surface of the ocean Some of the signal is reflected at the surface back into the ocean. Some of the signal passes through the surface refracted. The signal that passes through the surface will make a cirele of diameter d. The battleship must be within that cirele to receive the...
If you dive to 15 m below the surface of a lake, what is the pressure due to the water alone? Assume that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3; g = 9.8 m/s2; and PATM = 1.01 x 105 Pa.
A point source of light is submerged 2.90 m below the surface of a lake and emits rays in all directions. On the surface of the lake, directly above the source, the area illuminated is a circle. What is the maximum radius that this circle could have?
(2) A pump is located H1-2 m above the water surface of a lake. The pump has an intake pipe diameter of D-20 cm and the head loss in the pipe that runs from the lake to the pump is hi 0.5 m. The outlet pipe diameter is d-30 cm. The pump has an efficiency of n 0.88 and uses P-15,000 ft.lb/s to pump water to a pond H2- 40 m above the lower lake surface. The head loss in...
A scuba diver is 45 m below the surface of a lake, where the temperature is 5°C. He releases an air bubble with a volume of 10 cm3. The bubble rises to the surface, where the temperature is 25°C. Assume that the air in the bubble is always in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding water, and assume that there is no exchange of molecules between the bubble and the surrounding water. What is the volume of the bubble right before...
At the surface of a freshwater lake the pressure is 106 kPa. (a) What is the pressure increase in going 34.9 m below the surface?in kPa (b) What is the approximate pressure decrease in going 39 m above the surface? Air at 20
When the air temperature is below 0 C, the water at the surface of a lake freezes to form an ice sheet. The longer the air remains at this temperature, the thicker the ice sheet will become. Will a lake in Minnesota that is uniformly 40 m deep ever freeze solid? To answer this, calculate how long it would take to freeze all the water in the lake. Assume that the upper surface of the ice sheet is steady at...
