Abstract :
Ray optics theory is applied to a particular case of oil polluted layer, caused by some underwater source. Two-layered ocean model is considered; layer one is of saline water of the ocean and layer two, oil polluted saline water. Both of these layers are assumed to be linearly inhomogeneous. Ray paths are traced in the above said type of medium and the associated errors present are calculated. Computer calculated results are plotted showing ray paths for various initial angles of incidence of 10, 20, 40, and 60 degrees respectively.
