Questions  

A ray of light from a denser medium strike a rarer medium at an angle of incidence i. The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of  900 with each other. The angles of  reflection and refraction are r and r' . The critical angle is

a
sin−1tan i
b
sin−1cot i
c
sin−1tanr'
d
tan−1sini

detailed solution

Correct option is A

r + r'  = 90o given  μ sin i = (1) sin r'  Snell's Law ⇒1sin c. sin i = sin (90o−r) ⇒1sin c. sin i =cos r ⇒sin c = tan i ⇒c = sin−1 (tan i)
