Q.

A fish rising vertically upward with a uniform velocity of 8 ms-1 observes that a bird is diving vertically downward towards the fish with the velocity of 12 ms-1. If the refractive index of water is 43, then the actual velocity of the diving bird to pick the fish, will be _____ ms-1.                   [2023]


Ans.

(3)

Vb/f(43)=-8(43)+(-v)1  -12(43)=-8(43)+(-v)1

  v=3 m/s
