$A$ bird is looking at a fish underwater from the air. $h_1$ is the height of the bird above the water surface and $h_2$ is the depth of the fish below the water surface. If $\mu$ is the refractive index of water with respect to air,then the distance of the fish as observed by the bird is:

  • A
    $h_1 + h_2$
  • B
    $h_1 + \frac{h_2}{\mu}$
  • C
    $\mu h_1 + h_2$
  • D
    $\mu h_1 + \mu h_2$
