A ray of light is incident on denser medium making an angle of `40^(@)` with the surface. After refraction, it is deviation by `12^(@)` from its initial path. The refractive index of denser medium will be

A

`1.6`

B

`1.4`

C

`1.244`

D

`2.4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`delta = i-r :. r = i - delta = 50 - 12 = 38^(@)`
`mu = (sin i)/(sin r) = (sin 50)/(sin 38) = (0.7660)/(0.6157) = 1.244`
