Question
An unpolarized light beam strikes a glass surface at Brewster's angle. Then
Options
A.Both the reflected and refracted light will be completely polarized.
B.The reflected light will be completely polarized but the refracted light will be partially polarized.
C.The reflected light will be partially polarized.
D.The refracted light will be completely polarized.
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Brewster's angle — polarization by reflection]
According to Brewster's law, reflected rays are completely polarized and refracted rays are partially polarized.
