Refraction of light from air to glas and...

Refraction of light from air to glas and from air to water are shown in figure (i) and figure (ii) below. The value of the angle `theta` in the case of refraction as shown in figure (iii) will be

A

`30^(@)`

B

`35^(@)`

C

`60^(@)`

D

`41^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`.^("air")mu_("glass")=(sin60^(@))/(sin35^(@))` ...(i)
`.^("air")mu_("water")=(sin60^(@))/(sin41^(@))` ...(ii)
`.^("water")mu_("glass")=(sin41^(@))/(sintheta)` ...(iii)
`.^("air")mu_("water")xx.^("water")mu_("glass")=.^("air")mu_("glass")`
`(sin60^(@))/(sin41^(@))xx(sin41^(@))/(sintheta)=(sin60^(@))/(sin35^(@))` ("Using" (i),(ii)and(iii))
`sintheta=sin35^(@)impliestheta=35^(@)`
