$A$ ray of light passes from the vacuum into a medium of refractive index $n$. If the angle of incidence is twice the angle of refraction, then the angle of incidence in terms of refractive index is

  • A
    $2 \cos^{-1} (n/2)$
  • B
    $\cos^{-1} (n/2)$
  • C
    $2 \sin^{-1} (n/2)$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1} (n/2)$

The optical properties of a medium are governed by the relative permittivity $(\epsilon_r)$ and relative permeability $(\mu_r)$. The refractive index is defined as $n = \sqrt{\epsilon_r \mu_r}$. For ordinary material $\epsilon_r > 0$ and $\mu_r > 0$ and the positive sign is taken for the square root. In $1964$,a Russian scientist $V$. Veselago postulated the existence of material with $\epsilon_r < 0$ and $\mu_r < 0$. Since then,such 'metamaterials' have been produced in the laboratories and their optical properties studied. For such materials $n = -\sqrt{\epsilon_r \mu_r}$. As light enters a medium of such refractive index,the phases travel away from the direction of propagation.
$(i)$ According to the description above,show that if rays of light enter such a medium from air (refractive index $= 1$) at an angle $\theta_i$ in the $2^{nd}$ quadrant,then the refracted beam is in the $3^{rd}$ quadrant.
$(ii)$ Prove that Snell's law holds for such a medium.
