A ray of light is incident at \(30^{\circ}\) from a medium of refractive index 2 into a medium of refractive index 1 , then the angle of refraction is

  1. A \(30^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(60^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(45^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(90^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(90^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation
