sinA = msinB....(1)
tanA= ntanB
(sinA/cosA) = n(sinB/cosB)....(2)
substuting sinB value from equation (1)
cosB = (n/m) cosA......(3)
sin2A = m2sin2B
1-cos2A = m2(1-cos2B)
substituting equation (3)
1-cos2A = m2[1 – ((n2/m2)cos2A)]
1 – cos2A = m2 – n2cos2A
n2cos2A – cos2A = m2 – 1
cos2A = (m2 – 1)/(n2 – 1)
