Light falls from glass (μ = 1.5) to air. Find the angle of incidence for which the angle of deviation is 90°.
Refractive index of glass is
Angle of incidence=i
Light ray is passing from glass to air i.e. from denser to rarer medium.
We know that;
Critical Angle=
=
Maximum angle of deviation in refraction is=
In reflection,
Deviation =
Or,
So, the angle of incidence=.
