A ray of light incident on a transparent sphere at an angle $\pi / 4$ and refracted at an angle $r$, emerges from the sphere after suffering one internal reflection. The total angle of deviation of the ray is
- Correct answerA$\frac{3 \pi}{2}-4 r$
- B$\frac{\pi}{2}-4 \mathrm{r}$
- C$\frac{\pi}{4}-r$
- D$\frac{5 \pi}{2}-4 r$
Solution

$\mathrm{S}_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}-\mathrm{r}$ $\mathrm{S}_{2}=\pi-2 \mathrm{r}$ $\mathrm{S}_{3}=\frac{\pi}{4}-\mathrm{r}$ $\mathrm{S}=\mathrm{S}_{1}+\mathrm{S}_{2}+\mathrm{S}_{3}=\frac{3 \pi}{2}-4 \mathrm{r}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
