Detailed Solution

$i = 2 r \sin i \times n_{1} = \sin r \times n_{2} \sin i \times 1 = \sin \frac{i}{2} \times \sqrt{2 n} \frac{\sin i}{\sin \frac{i}{2}} = \sqrt{2 n} \frac{2 \sin \frac{i}{2} \cos \frac{i}{2}}{\sin \frac{i}{2}} = \sqrt{2 n} \cos \frac{i}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{n}{2}} \frac{i}{2} = \cos^{- 1} (\sqrt{\frac{n}{2}}) i = 2 \cos^{- 1} (\sqrt{\frac{n}{2}})$
