A ray of light travels from air to water. The refeactive index of water is given by the expression

A.

\(\frac{\text{velocity in water}}{\text{velocity in air}}\)

B.

\(\frac{\text{sine of angle of refraction}}{\text{sine of angle of incidence}}\)

C.

\(\frac{\text{apparent depth}}{\text{real depth }}\)

D.

\(\frac{\text{wavelength in air}}{\text{wavelength in water}}\)

From the diagram, the correct equation for the refractive index n of the medium is

A.

n = tan i

B.

n = \(\frac{sin i}{sin 90^o}\)

C.

n = \(\frac{sin i}{cos (90^o - i)}\)

D.

n = sin 90oC

Correct answer is A

refractive index(n) = \(\frac{sin i}{sinr}\)

where r = 180-(90+i) → r=90-i

since sin(90-i)=cos i

: refractive index(n) = \(\frac{sin i}{cos i}\)

→  tan i
