A ray of light is incident at an angle i on a glass slab of refractive index μ. The angle between reflected and refracted light is 90o. Then, the relationship between i and μ is :
A
i=tan−1(μ1)
B
tani=μ
C
sini=μ
D
cosi=μ

Correct option is B)
As situation can be diagrammatically as below (image) From law of reflection i=θ Now, θ+r+90o=180o ⇒i+r+90o=180o r=90o−i Also, from Snell's law : sinrsini=μ⇒sin(90o−i)sini=cosisini=μ ⇒tani=μ
