$A$,$B$ and $C$ are parallel-sided transparent media of refractive indices $n_{1}$,$n_{2}$ and $n_{3}$ respectively. They are arranged as shown in the figure. $A$ ray is incident at an angle $i$ on the surface of separation of $A$ and $B$. After refraction into medium $B$,the ray grazes the surface of separation of media $B$ and $C$. Then,$\sin i$ equals to

When a light ray enters a medium with refractive index $\mu$,it is observed that the angle of refraction is half the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is .........

View Solution

Electromagnetic waves emanating from a point $A$ (in air) are incident on a rectangular block of material $M$ and emerge from the other side as shown below. The angles $i$ and $r$ are angles of incidence and refraction when the wave travels from air to the medium. Such paths for the rays are possible,

If $\hat{i}$ denotes a unit vector along the incident light ray,$\hat{r}$ a unit vector along the refracted ray into a medium of refractive index $\mu$,and $\hat{n}$ a unit vector normal to the boundary of the medium directed towards the incident medium,then the law of refraction is:
