A champion dart thrower has decided that he could easily win a spear fishing contest. Unfortunately, he does not know about Snell's Law and loses miserably. The spear is thrown from a height h = 0.90 meters above the surface of the water. The spear strikes the top surface of the water at a distance of L = 3.71 meters from the edge. The fish is swimming a distance x = 1.96 meters to the right of the place where the spear hits the water. The index of refraction of the salt water is n = 1.38.

Determine the angle ? =  degrees
Determine the angle ? =  degrees
Determine the depth at which the fish is swimming d =  meters
Which of the following statements is true?

The figure is correct, the fish swims below the spear.The figure is incorrect, the fish swims above the spear.

NOTE: Use the water index of refraction as specified in the text, not one from memory.
