S.NO.

∠i

∠r

∠e

  • I

    60°

    40°

    61°

  • II

    50o

    36o

    51o

  • III

    40o

    28o

    39o

  • IV

    30o

    20o

    31o

Solution

D.

IV

20o

31o

The correct option is D.

As per Snell’s lawfraction numerator sin space i over denominator sin space r end fraction equals n subscript 2 over n subscript 1

The ratio of the sine values of i and r should be 1.5.

Note: Refractive index of glass = 1.5 and refractive index of air is 1.
