Let the refractive index of a denser medium with respect to a rarer medium be `n_(12)` and its critical angle be `theta_(c)`. At an angle of incidence A when light is travelling from denser medium to rarer medium, a part of the light is reflected and the rest is refracted and the angle between reflected and refracted rays is `90^(@)`, Angle A given by -

A

`"tan"^(-1)("sin" theta_(c))`

B

`(1)/("tan"^(-1) ("sin"theta_(c)))`

C

`"cos"^(-1) ("sin"theta_(c))`

D

`(1)/("cos"^(-1)("sin"theta_(c)))`
