Refraction by Plane Surfaces

Question 1: moderate

When a light ray enters refracting medium, it is found that the magnitude of the angle of refraction is equal to half the angle of reflection. If n is the refractive index of the medium, then the angle of incidence is :

1. \[2sin^{-1}(n/2)\]
2. \[2cos^{-1}(n/2)\]
3. \[cos^{-1}(n/2)\]
4. \[sin^{-1}(n/2)\]
