Problem

A man of height 2.0 m2.0\text{ m} is standing on a level road where, because of temperature variation, the refractive index of air varies as μ=1+ay\mu=\sqrt{1+ay}, where yy is the height from the road. If a=2.0×10−6 m−1a=2.0\times10^{-6}\text{ m}^{-1}, find the most distant point that he can see on the road.
