Questions  

A ray of light from a denser medium strikes a rarer medium. The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of 90o with each other. The angles of reflection and refraction are r and rI. The critical angle would be

a
sin–1 (tan r)
b
tan–1 (sin r)
c
sin–1(tan r1)
d
tan–1(sin r1)

detailed solution

Correct option is A

i = r ; r + r1 - 90 ; r1 = 90 - rμrsin r1=μdsin i⇒cosr=1sin θcsin r since μdμr=1sin θc ⇒θc=sin-1tan r
