A ray of light travelling through rarer medium is incident at a very small angle 'i' on a glass slab and after refraction its velocity is reduced by \(20 \%\). The angle of deviation is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{i}}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{i}}{8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{i}}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{i}}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{i}}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n_2 = \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{v_1}{0.8v_1} = 1.25\) \(n_1 \sin i = n_2 \sin r \implies 1 \cdot i = 1.25 r\)
