A light ray enters a solid glass sphere of refractive index $\mu=\sqrt{3}$ at an angle of incidence $60^{\circ}$. The ray is both reflected and refracted at the farther surface of the sphere. The angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted rays at this surface is________
$(\mathbf{9 0 . 0 0})$
In the figure, $Q R$ is the reflected ray and $Q S$ is refracted ray. $C Q$ is normal.
Apply Snell's law at $P$
$1 \sin 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3} \sin r$
$\Rightarrow \sin r=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow r=30^{\circ}$
From geometry, $C P=C Q$
$\therefore r^{\prime}=30^{\circ}$
Again apply snell's law at $Q$,
$\sqrt{3} \sin r^{\prime}=1 \sin e$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sin e \Rightarrow e=60^{\circ}$
From geometry
$r^{\prime}+\theta+e=180^{\circ} \quad$ (As angles lies on a straight line)
$\Rightarrow 30^{\circ}+\theta+60^{\circ}=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \theta=90^{\circ}$
