A fish is rising up vertically inside a pond with velocity 4 cm s-1 and notices a bird which is diving vertically downward along the same vertical line as that of fish and its velocity appears to be 16 cm s-1 (to the fish). What is the real velocity of the diving bird, if refractive index of water is 4/3?
