Light enters from vacuum to a medium of refractive index `mu`. If angle of incidence is double of angle of refraction, find angle of refraction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


`i=2theta`, `r=theta`
`mu_1sini=mu_2sinr`
`1xxsin2theta=musintheta`
`2 sin theta cos theta=mu sin theta`
`costheta=mu/2`
`theta=cos^-1(mu/2)`
