A ray of light passes from vaccume into ...

A ray of light passes from vaccume 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

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

D

`sin^(-1)` n

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Since, `(sin i)/( sin r) = n rArr (sin 2r)/(sin r) = n `
`rArr " " (2 sin r cos r )/(sin r) = n rArr r = cos^(-1) ((n)/(2))`
`i = 2r = 2 cos^(-1) ((n)/(2))` .
