A ray of light passes from vaccum into a medium of refractive index n. If the angle of incidence is twice the angle of refraction, then the angle of incidence is

A

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

B

`sin^(-1)(mu)`

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`mu=(sini)/(sinr)" "because i=2r`
`rArr mu=(sin2r)/(sinr)=(2sin r.cosr)/(sinr)`
`r=cos^(-1)((mu)/(2)), therefore i=2cos^(-1)((mu)/(2))`
