    A fish looking up through water sees the              outside world contained in a circular horizon.      If the refractive index of water is 4/3 and fish is 12 cm below the surface, the radius of circle   is :

    A) \[12\times \frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}cm\]            

    B)  \[12\times 3\times \sqrt{7}cm\]

    C)  \[12\times \sqrt{5/3}\]                

    D)  \[12\times 3\times \sqrt{5}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Using the relation for radius of circle \[r=\frac{h}{{{\mu }^{2}}-1}\] Here,          \[h=12cm,\,\mu =\frac{4}{3}\] or            \[r=\frac{12}{\sqrt{{{(4/3)}^{2}}-1}}=\frac{12\times 3}{\sqrt{7}}\]
