A parallel beam of monochromatic light is incident on the surface of water having refractive index 4/3. The direction of the incidence beam bisects the angle between the normal to the water surface and the water surface. The angles of incidence and refraction are

A

`i=30^(@), r=20^(@)`

B

`i=45^(@),r=20^(@)`

C

`i=45^(@),r=32^(@)`

D

`i=60^(@), r=40^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`i=45^(@) and sin r=(sin i)/(n)=(sin 45^@)/(4//3)`
`:. sin r =(3)/(sqrt(2) xx 4)=(3)/(5.656) :. r=32^(@)`
