प्रश्न
If a man standing on a platform 3 metres above the surface of a lake observes a cloud and its reflection in the lake, then the angle of elevation of the cloud is equal to the angle of depression of its reflection.
विकल्प
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is False.
Explanation:
From figure, we observe that, a man standing on a platform at point P, 3 m above the surface of a lake observes a cloud at point C.
Let the height of the cloud from the surface of the platform is h and angle of elevation of the cloud is θ1.
Now at same point P a man observes a cloud reflection in the lake at this time the height of reflection of cloud in lake is (h + 3) because in lake platform height is also added to reflection of cloud.
So, angle of depression is different in the lake from the angle of elevation of the cloud above the surface of a lake
In ΔMPC,
tan θ1 = `"CM"/"PM" = "h"/"PM"`
⇒ `(tan θ_1)/"h" = 1/"PM"` ...(i)
In ΔCPM,
tan θ2 = `"CM"/"PM"`
= `("OC" + "OM")/"PM"`
= `("h" + 3)/"PM"`
⇒ `(tan θ_2)/("h" + 3) = 1/"PM"` ...(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii),
`(tan θ_1)/"h" = (tan θ_2)/("h" + 3)`
⇒ tan θ2 = `(("h" + 3)/"h") tan θ_1`
Hence, θ1 ≠ θ2

One evening, Kaushik was in a park. Children were playing cricket. Birds were singing on a nearby tree of height 80m. He observed a bird on the tree at an angle of elevation of 45°. When a sixer was hit, a ball flew through the tree frightening the bird to fly away. In 2 seconds, he observed the bird flying at the same height at an angle of elevation of 30° and the ball flying towards him at the same height at an angle of elevation of 60°.
