Optics in Swimming Pool

(As shown in figure) Let an Stone " O " is Placed at the bottom of swimming Pool of depth H and the refractive index index of water is μ \mu this stone is viewed by an man at an angle θ \theta then what will be the apparent depth ( h ) of this stone from water surface ?

If the apparent depth h h can be expressed as :

h = α ( cos θ ) a μ H b ( H c + x d ) e f . h = \cfrac { \alpha { (\cos { \theta } ) }^{ a } }{ \mu { H }^{ b } } { ({ H }^{ c } + { x }^{ d }) }^{ \frac { e }{ f } }.

then compute the value of α + a + b + c + d + e + f \alpha + a + b + c + d + e + f .

Details and Assumption
g c d ( e , f ) = 1 gcd(e,f) = 1 .
α , a , b , c , d , e , f \alpha, a, b, c, d, e, f are all positive integers.

Solve it independently so that you understand this question More precisely !


Concept Used in This Question Is :

\bullet Formulas for Paraxial Ray's does not hold good in this question

\bullet For To Locate the image we require 2 Near by rays .

\bullet Position Of Image Doesn't Change if we consider to near by rays .


Now Let horizontal distance of image from Pole "P" is y

So y x = c o n s t a n t \quad y\quad -\quad x\quad =\quad constant .

Now Let Two rays of angle of incidence i & i + d i i\quad \quad \quad \& \quad \quad i\quad +\quad di .

Now stablished relation between them ( by using snell's Law )

and use d ( y x ) d i = 0 \cfrac { d(y\quad -\quad x) }{ di } \quad =\quad 0 .


so we get

h = 1 ( cos θ ) 3 μ H 2 ( H 2 + x 2 ) 3 2 h\quad =\quad \cfrac { 1{ (\cos { \theta } ) }^{ 3 } }{ \mu { H }^{ 2 } } { ({ H }^{ 2 }\quad +\quad { x }^{ 2 }) }^{ \cfrac { 3 }{ 2 } } .


NOTE:
Apparent depth will be maximum when we see Normally in swimming Pool.

Since θ = 0 \theta =0

really tough :D
