Questions  

A ray of light entering from air to glass (μ=1.5) is partly reflected and partly refracted.  If the incident and reflected rays are at right angles to each other, the angle of refraction is

a
sin−1(213)
b
sin−1(23)
c
sin−1(213)
d
sin−1(23)

detailed solution

Correct option is C

1×sini=μsinr1 sin(90−r1)=μsinr1 ⇒sinr1cosr1=1μ ∴Tanr1=23⇒sinr1=213
