Question 53

Multiple Choice

As shown in the figure, a laser positioned on a ship is used to communicate with a small research submarine resting on the bottom of a lake. The laser is positioned 12 m12 \mathrm {~m} above the surface of the water, and it strikes the water 20 m20 \mathrm {~m} from the side of the ship. The water is 58 m58 \mathrm {~m} deep and has an index of refraction of 1.331.33 . How far horizontally is the submarine from the side of the ship?
(Assume all numbers are accurate to three significant figures.)
