Q.

Two optical media have a plane boundary between them. Suppose θicr   is the critical angle of incidence of a beam and θi is the angle of incidence at which the refracted beam is perpendicular to the reflected one (the beam is assumed to come from an optically denser medium) If  sinθicrsinθ1=n. Find the relative refractive index of these media. If  μdenserμrarrer=1n2x  Find  x.........

Let two optical medium  of R.I n1andn2  respectively be such that  n1>n2. When angle of incidence is  θicr ( see figure) from the law of reflection n1sinθicr=n2  …………………. (1)
When the angel of incidence is θi, from the law of refraction at the interface of medium 1 and 2 
n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2

Question Image 
But in accordance with the problem  θ2=(π2θ1)....................(2)
So n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2  
Dividing Equation (1) by Equation (2)
sinθ1crsinθ1=1cosθ1 
So  cosθ1=1η  and  sinθ1=η21η..................(3)
But  n1n2=cosθ1cosθ2           so   n1n2=1ηηη21  (using  Equation  3)
Thus  n1n2=1η21=1.25
