A beam of light travelling with speed c ...

A beam of light travelling with speed `c` in vacuum encounters a glass medium at an angle of incidence `60^(@)`. If the speed of light in the medium is `(c)/(sqrt(3))`, then the angle between the reflected and the refracted beams is :

A

`30^(@)`

B

`60^(@)`

C

`90^(@)`

D

`120^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


`mu = sqrt(3)`
`(A) sin 60^(@) = sqrt(3) sin r`
`r = 30^(@) rArr theta = 90^(@)`.
