Unpolarised light is incident on the boundary between two dielectric media, whose dielectric constants are 2.82 . 8 (medium –11)and6.8and 6 . 8 (medium – 22), respectively. To satisfy the condition, so that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, the angle of incidence should be tan⁡−1(1+10θ)12\tan^{- 1}\left(1 + \dfrac{10}{\theta}\right)\dfrac{1}{2}, the value of θ\theta is ______.

(Given for dielectric media, μr=1{\mu}_{r} = 1)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

As given in the question, we can write

μ1=εrμr=2.8×1=2.8{\mu}_{1} = \sqrt{{ε}_{r}{\mu}_{r}} = \sqrt{2 . 8 \times 1} = \sqrt{2 . 8} and

μ2=εrμr=6.8×1=6.8{\mu}_{2} = \sqrt{{ε}_{r}{\mu}_{r}} = \sqrt{6 . 8 \times 1} = \sqrt{6 . 8}

Now applying Snell's law and considering r=90°−ir = 90 ° - i, we get

μ1sini=μ2cosi{\mu}_{1}sini = {\mu}_{2}cosi

⇒tani=μ2μ1=6.82.8⇒ tani = \dfrac{{\mu}_{2}}{{\mu}_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{6 . 8}{2 . 8}}

⇒tani=(2.8+42.8)12⇒ tani = \left(\dfrac{2 . 8 + 4}{2 . 8}\right)\dfrac{1}{2}

⇒i=tan⁡−1(1+107)12⇒ i = \tan^{- 1}\left(1 + \dfrac{10}{7}\right)\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, θ=7\theta = 7.
