There is a small source of light at some depth below the surface of water (refractive index=43), in a tank of large cross-sectional surface area. Neglecting any reflection from the bottom and absorption by water, the percentage of light that emerges out of the surface is (nearly):[use the fact that surface area of a spherical cap of height h and radius of curvature r is 2πrh] |
