    A thin oil layer floats on water. A ray of light making an angle of incidence \[40{}^\circ \] shines on oil layer. The angle of refraction of light ray in water is \[(Given,{{\mu }_{oil}}=1.45,{{\mu }_{Water}}=1.33)\]

    A) \[28.9{}^\circ \]                         

    B) \[26.8{}^\circ \]

    C) \[44.5{}^\circ \]                        

    D) \[36.1{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get               \[\sin r=\frac{{{\mu }_{1}}}{{{\mu }_{2}}}\sin i\] Given,   \[i={{40}^{o}},\,\,{{\mu }_{1}}={{\mu }_{oil}}=1.45\],                 \[{{\mu }_{2}}={{\mu }_{w}}=1.33\] \[\therefore \]  \[\sin r=\frac{1.45}{1.33}\sin {{40}^{o}}\]                  \[=\frac{1.45}{1.33}\times 0.6428\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin r=0.7007\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[r={{\sin }^{-1}}(0.7007)={{44.5}^{o}}\]   Note:- \[\left[ \text{sin 4}0{}^\circ =0.\text{6428},\text{ sin 44}.\text{5}{}^\circ =0.\text{7}00\text{7} \right]\]
