Question

You're standing at the bottom of a deep pool of water, looking up through the water at the sun's angle of elevation with respect to the position "directly overhead" (looking straight up: the vertical), and find it to be 26 degrees.
*Find the sun's true angle with respect to that vertical & Find the largest angle at which the sun could be seen by the underwater observer & Explain why it is not necessary to know the depth of the pool in order to solve the problem.

Explanation / Answer

we use snell law:

n1sin?1 = n2sin?2

sin?1 = (1.33)sin(26)

solving for the angle we have:

?1 = 35.7
