When you create child class object with the reference variable of the parent class, the reference variable allows you to access member variables and methods that belong to class type of reference variable only. 

You have created "Manager" class object and assigned it the reference of the parent class, i.e. "Employee". As "emp2" is the reference variable of the "Employee" class, using "emp2" reference you can access the members of the Employee class only.   Thus, in your case using reference variable "emp2", you will be able to access variables and methods of Employee class only.

As "setDepartment" method doesn't belong to Employee class it is non-accessible by "emp2" variable.
