A ray of light is incident at the glass-water interface at an angle i . If it finally emerges parallel to the surface of the water, then the value of μ g would be
Options
- A4 3 sin i
- B1 sin i
- C4 3
- D1
Correct answer
B. 1 sin i
Step-by-step solution
Applying, Snell's law μsin i = constant at 1 and 2 , we have μ 1 sin i 1 = μ 2 sin i 2 Here, μ 1 = μ glass , i 1 = i ∴ μ 2 = μ air = 1 and i 2 = 90 ° ∴ μ g sin i = 1 × sin 90 ° ∴ μ g = 1 sin i
