The diver sees the instructor at an apparent angle of θa = 26°, measured from the normal to the interface. Randomized Variables θa = 26° a) Find the height of the instructor’s head above the water in meters, noting that you will first have to calculate the angle of incidence (you can take the indices of refraction to be na = 1 for air and nw = 1.33 for water). b) Find the apparent depth of the diver’s head below water as seen by the instructor in meters, assuming the diver and his image both have the same horizontal distance along the surface of the water.arrow_forwardThe angle of a prism is A°.
