Question

Why does a fisherman aim at the tail of a fish during fishing?

Answer 1

This is all to do with the refraction of light and real and apparent depth. As the light from the fish leaves the water it bends away from the normal (right angled line to the surface). This makes the fish appear to be nearer to the surface.

Answer 2

$\large\boxed{\fcolorbox{blue}{yellow} {Answer}}$

1. The rays of light coming from the fish bend away from the normal as they travel from water (denser medium) to air (rarer medium).

2. Hence, the position of the fish in water appears to be above its real position.

Therefore, while shooting a fish in a lake, the gun is aimed at the back of the fish.
