A ray of light is incident from a denser to a rarer medium. The critical angle for total internal reflection isθiCand Brewster's angle of incidence isθiB, such thatsinθiCsinθiB=η=1.28. The relative refractive index of the two media is

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

μ1:refractive index of rarer medium

μ2:retractive index of denser medium

sinθC=μ1μ2

tanθB=μ1μ2

sin θ C =tan θ B

sin θ C sin θ B = tan θ B sin θ B = 1 cos θ B =1.28

tan θ B = μ 1 μ 2 = 1 ( 1 1.28 ) 2 ( 1 1.28 )

=0.8
