Answer:

The fish is in the water (denser medium) and hence the light coming out from the water air interface suffers the refraction from denser to the rare medium and bend away from the normal. The ray diagram is shown in the diagram.

Answer:

(a) To draw the image of the top point of the object we need two rays whose path after refraction from the lens is known.
(1) As we know that the ray ...
