An air masked eye placed inside water refractive index, `mu` sees the outside world. The vertex angle of the cone in which the eye will see the outside world is

A

`2sin^-1(1//mu)`

B

`2cos^-1(1//mu)`

C

`2sin^-1sqrt((mu^2-1))`

D

`2cos^-1sqrt((mu^2-1))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A


`musinC=1xxsin90^@`
`sinC=1//muimpliesC=sin^-1(1//mu)`
Vertex angle `=2C=2sin^-1(1//mu)`
