A ray of light passes from vaccum into a medium of refractive index n. If the angle of incidence is twice the angle of refraction, then the angle of incidence is

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Converging; real

`i=2r`
`1 sin I =n sin r`
`implies2 sin i//2 cos i//2 = n sin i//2`
`implies cos i//2=(n//2)`
`implies i=2 cos^(-1) (n//2)`
