उत्तर
From Snell's law, we have: \[\frac{\sin\left( i \right)}{\sin\left( r \right)} = \mu\] At A, i = 60° (given)
Now, μ = √3
\[\Rightarrow \sin\left( r \right) = \frac{\sin\left( i \right)}{\mu}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \sin\left( r \right) = \frac{\sin\left( 60° \right)}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow r = \sin^{- 1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\]
\[ \therefore r = 30°\]

Explain briefly the process of charging a parallel plate capacitor when it is connected across a d.c. battery
In a parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates, each plate has an area of 6 × 10−3 m2 and the distance between the plates is 3 mm. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor. If this capacitor is connected to a 100 V supply, what is the charge on each plate of the capacitor?
What is the area of the plates of a 2 F parallel plate capacitor, given that the separation between the plates is 0.5 cm? [You will realize from your answer why ordinary capacitors are in the range of µF or less. However, electrolytic capacitors do have a much larger capacitance (0.1 F) because of very minute separation between the conductors.]
