Refractive index of a medium is \(\mu\). If the angle of incidence is twice that of the angle of refraction, then the angle of incidence is

  1. A \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mu}{2}\right)\)
  2. B \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mu}{2}\right)\)
  3. C \(2 \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mu}{2}\right)\)
  4. D \(\sin ^{-1}(\mu)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mu}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, angle of incidence, \(\mathrm{i}=2 \times\) angle of refraction, \(\mathrm{r}\) from Snell's law \[ \begin{aligned} & \mu_1 \sin \mathrm{i}=\mu_2 \sin r \\ & 1 \times \sin 2 r=\mu \sin r \\ & 2 \sin r \cos r=\mu \sin r \end{aligned} \]…
