A diver under water look at fisherman on bank would be appeared shorter or taller then actually he is
A
taller
B
shorter
C
same height
Answer
Taller
Explanation
Solution
Light rays travel from the fisherman in air (rarer medium) to the diver in water (denser medium). According to Snell's Law, these rays bend towards the normal upon entering the water. This bending causes the apparent position of the fisherman to be higher than his actual position, making him appear taller.
