$A$ ray of light is incident at an angle $i$ on a glass slab of refractive index $\mu$. The angle between the reflected and refracted light is $90^{\circ}$. Then, the relationship between $i$ and $\mu$ is

  • A
    $i=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)$
  • B
    $\tan i=\mu$
  • C
    $\sin i=\mu$
  • D
    $\cos i=\mu$
