Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(2 \cos ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{n}{2}}\right)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(i=2 r\)
\(\sin i \times n_{1}=\sin r \times n_{2}\)
\(\sin i \times 1=\sin \frac{i}{2} \times \sqrt{2 n}\)
\(\frac{\sin i}{\sin \frac{i}{2}}=\sqrt{2 n}\)
\(\frac{\sin \frac{i}{2} \cos \frac{i}{2}}{\sin \frac{i}{2}} \sqrt{2 n}\)
\(\cos \frac{i}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{n}{2}}\)
\(\frac{i}{2}=\cos ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{n}{2}}\right)\)
\(i=2 \cos ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{n}{2}}\right)\)
