A submarine is 309 m horizontally from the shore of a freshwater lake and 105 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the submarine so that the beam strikes the surface of the water 227 m from the shore. A building stands on the shore, and the laser beam hits a target at the top of the building. The goal is to find the height of the target above sea level. Required:
a. Draw a diagram of the situation, Identifying the two triangles that are important in finding the solution.
b. Find the angle of incidence of the beam striking the water-air interface.
c. Find the angle of refraction.
d. What angle does the refracted beam make with the horizontal?
e. Find the height of the target above sea level.
