Solution
The correct option is Bsin−1(35) According to Snell's law, when a light ray incidents on a surface separating two transparent media, the product μsinθ of a light ray is constant.
where, μ is the refractive index of the medium and \theta is the angle of incidence/refraction.
Given, angle of refraction is double the angle of incidence →r=2i
light ray passes from a glass of refractive index μ=1.6 to air. ⟹1.6sin(i)=sin(2i)=2sin(i)cos(i)
