An underwater diver sees the sun at an apparent angle of 45.00 from the vertical. How far is the sun above the horizon? [n in water=1.333

19.872 degrees

Explanation:

Mathematically;

Using Snell’s law

n1 sin A = n2 sinB

Where ;

n1 = refractive index in air = 1

n2 is refractive index in water = 1.33

A = ?

B = 45

Substituting the values in the equation;

1 sin A = 1.33 sin45

Sin A = 1.33 sin 45

A = arc sin (1.33 sin 45)

A = 70.12

Thus, the actual direction of the Sun with respect to the horizon = 90-A = 19.872 degrees

answer is c
