MCQ
If $\hat i$ denotes a unit vector along incident light ray, $\hat r$ a unit vector along refracted ray into a medium of refractive index $\mu $ and $\hat n$ unit vector normal to boundary of medium directed towards incident medium, then law of refraction is
  • A
    $\hat i\,.\,\hat n = \mu (\hat r\,.\,\hat n)$
  • B
    $\hat i \times \hat n = \mu (\hat n \times \hat r)$
  • $\hat i \times \hat n = \mu (\hat r \times \hat n)$
  • D
    $\mu (\hat i \times \hat n) = \hat r \times \hat n$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\hat i \times \hat n = \mu (\hat r \times \hat n)$
c
(c) Snell’s law in vector form is $\hat i \times \hat n = \mu (\hat r \times \hat n)$
