Given : i=45

To find : μ

Solution: From snell's law

Now let us take that for angle of incidence α the angle between reflected ray and refracted ray be 90  

0

 then

α+r+90  

0

=180  

0

/90  

0

   (since i = angle of reflection from laws of reflection)

Hence r=90−α

Now from snell's law

μ

​  

sinα=μ

​  

sinr

1sinα=

​  

sin(90−α)

tanα=

​  

 

α=tan  

−1
