Question

When light is incident on the surface of medium at angle i and refracted into a second medium at an angle r the graph of sin i vs sin r is as shown in the graph. From this, one can conclude that

Solution

The correct option is C

Medium II is optically denser than medium I


From the graph,
tan 30=sin rsin i=1μ21=13

μ21=3μ2μ1=v1v2=1.73

v1=1.73 v2

Also from μ=1sin C

sin C=1μ21=13.
