tani1=μ=1/sinic

Hope it is correct [1]

if the ray comes from denser to rarer the ray should bend away from the normal

r1+r2=90

r1=i1

u2/u1=sini1/sinr2=tani1

u2/u1=sinic=tan1

hope this is correct

both of u were rite ani

μ2/μ1=μ

Anirudh Narayanan ·

how machan?

I'm telling that 1/sinic=tani1

And Subash is telling sinic=tani1

Anirudh at this specify one thing none of the media is air

u in ur soln is the refractive index of which medium i think that will make a difference

The denser medium have the refractive index μ1 and the rarer medium have the refractive index be μ2

at the crtical angle r2=900 and

from snell's law

μ1sin ic=μ2sin r2

sin ic=μ1/μ2

1/μ=sinic μ2/μ1=μ

yeah, sorry. it was 1/μ. my mistake. [1]
