Question 1163329
.
If you are in shallow water and look at an object below the surface of the water, 
the object will look farther away from you than it really is. This is because as light passes 
through air and water it bends or refracts the light rays. The index of refraction for water is 1.33.
This is the ratio of the sine of theta 1 and the sine of theta 2.


a) You are in 2 feet of water in the shallow end of a pool. You look down at some goggles at angle 
(theta=60) degrees measured from a line perpendicular to the surface of the water. Find (theta 2 ) 


b) Find the distances x and y 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



As the incoming post is worded, it is mathematically incorrect, 

because is asks to find distances 'x' and 'y', 

but does not determine what these distances are.



It is why this posted problem recalls me a lame horse with three legs.
