A ray of light passes from vaccum into a medium of refractive index n. If the angle of incidence is twice the angle of refraction, then the angle of incidence is

A

`cos^-1(n//2)`

B

`sin^-1(n//2)`

C

`2cos^-1(n//2)`

D

`2 sin^-1(n//2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`n=sini/(sin(i//2))=(2sin(i//2)cos(i//2))/sin(i//2)`
Solving we get, `i=2 cos^-1(n//2)`
