a The diagram of the situation is shown on the first uploaded image

b the angle of incidence beam striking the water is $\theta = 49.63^o$

c the angle of refraction beam striking the water is r = 59.7^o

d The angle the refracted beam make with respect to the horizontal is = 30.3^o

e The height of the target above sea level is

h= 125.05m

Explanation:

From the diagram we see that the angle of the beam striking the water is

$tan \theta = \frac{100}{85}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{100}{85} )$

= 49.63^o

According to Snell's law

$\mu_{water} *sin(i) = \mu_{air} *sin(r)$

Where $\mu_{water }$ is the refractive index of water = 1.333

is the angle of incidence

$\mu_{air}$ is the refractive index of air = 1

r is the angle of refraction

Substituting values accordingly

1.33 * sin (40.37) = 1 * sin(r)

Making r the subject of the formula

$r = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.333 *sin(40.37)}{1})$

= 59.7^o

looking at the diagram we can see that to obtain the angle the refraction beam makes with the horizontal by subtracting the angle refraction from 90°

i.e 90 -59.7 = 30.3 °

From the diagram we see that the height target above sea level can be obtained by this relation

$tan \theta = \frac{h}{214}\\$

Where h is the is the height

$tan(30.3) = \frac{h}{214}$

h = 214 * tan (30.3)

=125.05m

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
