    A ray of light is incident on glass slab making an angle of incidence \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)\]. What will be the angle of refraction in glass of refractive index 1.5?

    A)  \[{{40}^{o}}\,18\]

    B)  \[{{24}^{o}}\,49\]

    C)  \[{{25}^{o}}\,17\]

    D)  \[{{35}^{o}}\,16\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[i={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)={{\sin }^{-1}}(\sin {{60}^{o}})={{60}^{o}}\]                 \[\mu =\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\sin r=\frac{\sin i}{\mu }=\frac{\sin {{60}^{o}}}{1.5}=\frac{0.8660}{1.5}\]                 \[\sin r=0.5773\] \[r={{\sin }^{-1}}(0.5773)={{35}^{o}}16\]
