    A fish looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horizon. If the refractive index of water is 4/3 and the fish is 12 cm below the surface, the radius of this circle (in cm) is -     

    A) \[36\sqrt{5}\]

    B) \[4\sqrt{5}\]

    C) \[36\sqrt{7}\]

    D) \[36/\sqrt{7}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\sin {{i}_{c}}=\frac{1}{\mu }=\frac{r}{\sqrt{{{r}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}}}\] \[\text{Using }h=12cm,\mu =4/3\] \[\text{We get }r=\frac{36}{\sqrt{7}}cm.\]
