  • question_answer
    The angle of incidence at which reflected light is totally polarized for reflection from air to glass (refractive index\[n\]), is

    A) \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(n)\]                        

    B) \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(1/n)\]    

    C)        \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(1/n)\]   

    D)        \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(n)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The particular angle of incidence for which reflected light is totally polarised for reflection from air to glass, is called the angle of polarisation\[({{i}_{p}})\] According to Brewster's law, \[n=\tan {{i}_{p}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{i}_{p}}={{\tan }^{-1}}(n)\] where,\[n=\]refractive index of glass.
