When a ray of light enters into the medi...

When a ray of light enters into the medium of refractive index of `mu`, angle of refraction is half of angle of incidence so angle of incidence = ......

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

`mu =sini/sinr=(sini)/(sini//2)`
`=(2sin""1/2cos""1/2)/(sin""i/2)`
`therefore mu =2cos""i/2`
`therefore mu/2=cos""i/2`
`i/2=cos^(-1)(mu/2)`
`therefore i= 2cos^(-1)(mu/2)`
