    Light is incident on a glass plate at an angle 60°, the reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular to each other, then the refractive index of plate will be:

    A)  1-732

    B)  1-5

    C)   1-4

    D)  1-5

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Angle of incidence \[i={{60}^{o}}\] is given As it is clear that the angle of reflection = angle of incidence Angle of reflection \[=60{}^\circ \] As the reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular. Hence, angle of refraction \[r=\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ }180{}^\circ -(90{}^\circ +60{}^\circ )\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }=30{}^\circ \] Now, the refractive index of plate is \[\mu =\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\frac{\sin {{60}^{o}}}{\sin {{30}^{o}}}\] \[=\frac{0.866}{0.6}\] \[=1.732\]
