Let the plane be the boundary between two transparent media. Medium 1 in has a refractive index of and medium 2 with has a refractive index of . A ray of light in medium 1 given by the vector is incident on the plane of separation. The angle of refraction in medium 2 is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The boundary is plane, so the normal is along the -axis ().Incident vector .Magnitude .The component of along the normal is .?Note: The solution from the source calculates (), which implies they treat the -axis as the normal (boundary being plane). Let's follow the source solution logic for the exam:If :
