A ray of light strikes a transparent slab of the refractive index of2at an angle of incidence45°. The angle between the reflected and refracted rays is

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

According to the figure,

Given,i=45°

Let the angle between the reflected ray and refracted ray is



Apply Snell's law at the air-glass surface,

sin⁡isin⁡r=n1

⇒sin⁡45°sin⁡r=2

sin⁡r=12⋅2=12

∴ r=30°

From the diagram,θ=180-i+r

=180-45°+30°

=180°-75°=105°
