A point source of light is placed at a distancehbelow the surface of a large deep lake. Neglecting the partial reflection of light during refraction, the percentage of light energy that escapes from the water surface is[μwater=43]

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Solid angle ϕ =2π 1cosθ

where θ= plane angle

escape energy = total energy 4 π × solid angle

escape energy total energy = 1 4 π × 2 π 1 - cosC

= 1 2 1 - cosC           ....(1)

from law of refraction

μ w sini= μ a sinr

4 3 × sin C = 1 × sin 90 o

sin C=34cos C=1-sin2Ccos C=74....2

from (1) and (2)

μ w sini= μ a sinr

escaped energy total energy = 0.17

total % energy enscaped =17%
