A ray of light strikes a glass plate at an angle of `60^(@)`. If the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, the index of refraction of glass is

A

`(sqrt3)/3`

B

1.5

C

1.732

D

2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c )
Refractive index of the material,
`µ=(sin i)/(sin r)=(sin 60^(@))/(sin 30^(@))=sqrt3=1.732`
