We wish to determine the depth of a swimming pool filled with water without getting wet. We measure the width of the pool, which is 5.50m. We then note that the bottom edge is just visible when we stand and look at an angle of 14.0 degrees above the horizontal line.
a)Calculate the depth of the pool.
b)If the pool were filled with a different clear liquid, with index of refraction n=1.65. Would you be able to see the bottom of the pool from the side now?
c)The bottom of the pool is made of a clear solid material. What would be the maximum value of index of refraction of thisclear floor so that total internal reflection occurs? (It is filled with the n=1.65 liquid).
