The formula for the light bend would be n1*sin i= n2 * sin r
If you use "sin (90-x)= cos x" principle, you can change the sin in the equation into
n1*sin i= n2 * sin r
n1 * cos a= n2 * cos b
n2/n1= cos a/ cos b
Assuming the n constant is the ratio of the glass compared to water then the answer would be: cos a/ cos b
Answer:
20.78feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The question made us to understand that the man is standing and also there is angle of elevation, then we need to draw a right triangle having a base equal to 36 feet with an angle from the base to the top of the pole which is 30 degrees.
tan= opposite side / adjacent side
Let height of the pole =h
Tan(30)= h/36
But tan 30degree= 1/√3
h= 36 × 1/√3
h= 20.78feet
Therefore, the height of the pole= 20.78feet
