प्रश्न

Express the refractive index μ of a medium in terms of the angle of incidence i in air and the angle of refraction r in a denser medium.

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

If light travels from air into another denser medium, the refractive index ‘μ’ of the medium.

`μ="Sine of the angle of incidence in air"/"Sine of the angle of refraction in the denser medium"`

`μ=sin i/sin r`
