When a beam of light goes from denser medium `(m_(d))` to rarer medium `(m_(1))`, then it is generally observed that magnitude of angle of incidence is half that of angle of refraction. Then magnitude of incident angle will be here `(m=m_(d)//m_(c ))`

A

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

B

`2cos^(-1) mu`

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`mu_(d) sin I =mu_(r) sin 2i`
`mu_(d)=2 mu_(r) cosi`
`i=cos^(-1)((mu_(d))/(2mu_(r)))=cos^(-1)((mu)/2)`
