How do I do Question 2d), 4a) and 5a&b)?
Thanks a lot
Hope you can help ASAP
I wont copy word I just want to make sure I understand
the diagram in the top left is incorrect.
hint for 2(d):
in which situation there would be no refraction of light for the archer fish?
OR
Simply when the fish is out of the water. No second medium for light to cross
Thanks a lot!!
There will be no refraction when the incident ray is not deviated in other words the angle of incidence is zero at the water air boundary
this is one is close, but not complete
again,
in which situation there would be no refraction of light for the archer fish?
See 3 Answers
the 2 conditions for TIR are met,
hence TIR can occur (& light would keep bouncing within the optical fiber of refractive index = 1.48)
for (b),
it is the working backwards for qn 4(d)
1. u got θ as angle of incidence for top side
2. calculate to obtain the angle of refraction for the left side (or end side)
3. use the refractive index formula and work out the angle of incidence
u may need to use trigo identities from AMath
The diagram is incorrect is it because there should be a weak reflected ray internally before the emergent ray?
nope
hints:
1. what is the critical angle value for the glass block?
2. what is the angle of incidence at side KL?
3. what phenomenon would occur at side KL?
There will be no refraction when the incident ray is not deviated in other words the angle of incidence is zero at the water air boundary
this is one is close, but not complete
where shld the fish be for the above to be true?
no need for fish to jump out of water.
u still cannot figure it out, click this link:

bottom of page
But if its right below the insect it could easily just catch it but the fish is not that smart tho
bingo! u got it!
btw, the qn does not ask u if the fish is that smart or not
anyway, in reality, the hit rate for archer fish is almost 100%, even for an angle of deviation of up to 40 deg.
