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)(mu//2)`

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

`mu=(sini)/(sinr) implies mu= (sin2r)/(sinr) (sin2theta=2sinthetacostheta)implies r=cos^(-1)(mu/2)`. So, `i=2r=2cos^(-1)(mu/2)`
