If `hat(i)` denotes a unit vector along incident light ray, `hat (r)`a unit vector along refracted ray into a medium of refraction index `mu` and `hat (n)` unit vector normal to boundary of medium directed towards incident medium, then law of refraction is

A

`hat(i). hat(n)=mu(hat(r). hat(n))`

B

`hat(i)xxhat(n)=mu(hat(n)xxhat(r))`

C

`hat(i)xxhat(n)=mu(hat(r)xxhat(n))`

D

`mu(hat(r)xxhat(n))=hat(r)xxhat(n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Snell's law in vector form is `hat (i) xx hat(n)=mu(hat(r)xx hat(n))`
