Refraction, Glass Slab & Apparent Depth

The angle of incidence is found to be twice the angle of refraction when ray of light passes from vacuum into a medium of refractive index ' μ\mu '. The angle of incidence will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Snell's law with i=2ri = 2r: μ=sin⁡2rsin⁡r=2cos⁡r\mu = \dfrac{\sin 2r}{\sin r} = 2\cos r.
  2. r=cos⁡−1(μ2)r = \cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{\mu}{2}\right).
  3. i=2r=2cos⁡−1(μ2)i = 2r = 2\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{\mu}{2}\right).
  4. So the answer is (b).
