I love optics .....

a candel flame is held 2 m above the water level in a tank 4 m deep . if u of water is 4/3 , where will the image of candel flame be seen ??

acc to the rule ,,,

Refractive index of water = height of image of candle from water level/height of candle from water level .

From figure it is clear that ,
Height of image from water level is (h + 2)m
Height of candle from water level is 2m

And refractive index of water is μ = 4/3
so, μ = 4/3 = (h + 2)/2
(h + 2) = 8/3 = 2.67 m

Hence, image of candle from water level is 2.67 m
Or image of candle from Ground level is (4 + 2.67) m = 6.67m


this is your answer.......

davidwax123: can you explain your answer
davidwax123: answer given is 2 metres from the surface of water
davidwax123: Have you got the answer

dhananjay721: Light is not entering in water it just reflects from its surface and travels in air.
davidwax123: so light can never enter water
dhananjay721: yes
dhananjay721: Actually, some amount of light gets refracted and some reflected.
dhananjay721: The one in 1st case is of some amount which refracts, and in 2nd case the amount of light which reflects.
davidwax123: and how you find that in second case reflection will be more than refraction
dhananjay721: If we are observing from air, then we would only get reflected rays in our eyes, because the rays which are refracted went inside the water.
davidwax123: thanks for the help.
dhananjay721: Now, is it clear or not?
davidwax123: thanks for the try.
