JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments

The \(X-Y\) plane be taken as the boundary between two transparent media \(M _{1}\) and \(M _{2} . M _{1}\) in \(Z \geq 0\) has a refractive index of \(\sqrt{2}\) and \(M _{2}\) with \(Z <0\) has a refractive index of \(\sqrt{3}\). A ray of light travelling in \(M_{1}\) along the direction given by the vector \(\overrightarrow{ A }=4 \sqrt{3 i }-3 \sqrt{3 \hat{j}}-5 \hat{ k }\), is incident on the plane of separation. The value of difference between the angle of incident in \(M _{1}\) and the angle of refraction in \(M _{2}\) will be \(....\) degree.

  1. A \(7\)
  2. B \(15\)
  3. C \(254\)
  4. D \(225\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(15\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ A }=4 \sqrt{3 \hat{i}}-3 \sqrt{3 \hat{j}}-5 \hat{ k }\) As incident vector \(A\) makes \(i\) angle with normal \(z-\)axis refracted vector \(R\) makes \(r\) angle with normal \(z\) - axis with help of direction cosine…
