From the diagram, the correct equation for the refractive index n of the medium is

A.

n = tan i

B.

n = sinisin90o

C.

n = sinicos(90oi)

D.

n = sin 90oC

Correct answer is A

refractive index(n) = sinisinr

where r = 180-(90+i) → r=90-i

since sin(90-i)=cos i

: refractive index(n) = sinicosi

→  tan i
