Question
The angle of incidence at which reflected light totally polarized for reflection from air to glass (refractive index n), is
Options
A.sin-1(n)
B.sin-1(1/n)
C.tan-1(1/n)
D.tan-1(n)
Solution
Brewster′s law: According to this law the ordinary light is completely polarised in the plane of incidence when it gets reflected from transparent medium at a particular angle known as the angle of polarisation.
n = tan ip.
n = tan ip.
