Optics Question 966

Question: A ray of light is incident at an angle i from denser to rare medium. The reflected and the refracted rays are mutually perpendicular. The angle of reflection and the angle of refraction are respectively r and r’ , then the critical angle will be

Options:

A) $ {{\sin }^{-1}}(\sin r) $

B) $ {{\sin }^{-1}}(\tan r’) $

C) $ {{\sin }^{-1}}(\tan i) $

D) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}(\sin i) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ _{D}{\mu _{R}}=\frac{\sin i}{\sin {r}’}{\Rightarrow _{R}}{\mu _{D}}=\frac{\sin {r}’}{\sin \ i}=\frac{1}{\sin C} $

$ \Rightarrow \sin C=\frac{\sin i}{\sin (90-r)}=\frac{\sin i}{\cos r}=\frac{\sin i}{\cos i} $ (as Ði = Ðr)

$ \Rightarrow \sin C=\tan i\Rightarrow C={{\sin }^{-1}}(\tan i) $
