A submarine is observed to rise from a real depth off 80 m to 60 m in water. calculate the change in apparent depth.

[Refraction index of water (4)/3]

A.

45 m

B.

80 m

C.

15 m

D.

60 m

Correct answer is C

Refraction index (n)= (Real depth)/App. depth
For 80 m Real depth: (4)/3 = (80)/App. depth
App. dept = (80 x 3)/4 = 60 m
For 60 m real depth; (4)/3 = (60)/ App. depth
App. depth = (60 x 3)/4 = 45 m
∴change in App. depth = 60 -45 = 15 m
