A ray of light is incident at the glass-water interface at an angle I, it emerges fimally parallel to the surface of water, the the value of `mu_g` would be

A

`(4//3)sini`

B

`1//sini`

C

`4//3`

D

1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

For glass`-` water interface `._(g)mu_(g)=(sin i)/(sin r)`.....(i)
For water `-` air `=(sinr )/(sin90^(@))` ….(ii)
`implies ._(g)mu_(w)xx._(w)mu_(a)=(sini)/(sinr)xx(sinr)/(sin 90^(@))=sin i`
`implies (mu_(w))/(mu_(g))xx(mu_(a))/(mu_(w))=siniimpliessiniimpliesmu_(g)=(1)/(sini)`
