    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) \[40{}^\circ \text{ }18\]                                

    B)  \[24{}^\circ \text{ }49\]

    C) \[25{}^\circ \text{ }17\]                

    D)        \[35{}^\circ \text{ }16\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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