Solving Fish Refraction Problem Using Law of Refraction

[on204]

Homework Statement

Imagine a fish in the lake. And assume that the surface of the water is absolutely flat--no waves at all. Draw a picture and describe what the fish should see. Can the fish see someone standing on the shore of the lake?

The Attempt at a Solution

I think that using the law of refraction I can solve this somehow, but I'm not really sure where to start. Could someone please help me out. Thank you.

What do YOU think? The forum rules say no one can help you until you start the problem. Even making a mistake would be helpful.
