Explanation:
Let i be the angle of incidence & reflection & r be the angle of refraction in the optical medium.
As per given condition, the angle between reflected & refracted rays is 90∘ hence we have
i+r+90∘=180∘
r=90∘−i
If n is the refractive index of optical medium w.r.t. air then using Snell’s Law as follows
sini=nsinr
sini=nsin(90∘−i)
sini=ncosi
n=tani
where , i is the angle of incidence on transparent (optical) surface which should be known
