JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Basics of Mechanical Waves

  • question_answer
    A wave has velocity u in medium P and velocity 2u in medium Q. If the wave is incident in medium P at an angle of 30° then the angle of refraction will be                  [J & K CET 2005]

    A)            30°

    B)            45°

    C)            60°

    D)            90°

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[v=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}\]                    Þ\[\sin r=\sin 30{}^\circ \times \frac{2u}{u}\Rightarrow \sin r=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1\]\[\Rightarrow r=90{}^\circ \]
