Captain Jack Sparrow tries to observe a fish almost vertically below him in a magical sea of variable refractive index $\mu = y^2 + 1$,where $y$ is the depth below the water surface. Find the apparent depth of the fish below the water level as seen by Captain Jack Sparrow. The actual depth of the fish is $1 \ m$.

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{4} \ m$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{2} \ m$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{3} \ m$
  • D
    $\pi \ m$

$A$ mixture of a pure liquid and a solution in a long vertical column (i.e., horizontal dimensions << vertical dimensions) produces diffusion of solute particles and hence a refractive index gradient along the vertical dimension. $A$ ray of light entering the column at right angles to the vertical is deviated from its original path. Find the deviation in travelling a horizontal distance $d << h$, where $h$ is the height of the column.
