Find the angle of refraction in a medium...

Find the angle of refraction in a medium `(mu=2)` if light is incident in vacuum, making an angle equal to twice the critical angle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the incidient light is in rarer medium. Total internal Reflection can not take place.
`C = sin^(-1) (1)/(mu) = 30^(@) rArr :. I = 2C = 60^(@)`
Appyling Snell's Law. `1sin 60^(@) = 2sin r`
`sin r = (sqrt(3))/(4) rArr r = sin^(-1) ((sqrt(3))/(4))`.
