    When the angle of incidence on a material is \[60{}^\circ \], the reflected light is completely polarized. The velocity of the refracted ray inside the material is (in ms-1)

    A)  \[3\times {{10}^{8}}\]                                  

    B)  \[\left( \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \right)\times {{10}^{8}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{3}\times {{10}^{8}}\]                                     

    D)  \[0.5\times {{10}^{8}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    From Brewsters law, \[\mu =\tan \,{{i}_{p}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{v}{c}=\tan \,{{60}^{o}}=\sqrt{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[v=\frac{c}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{\sqrt{3}}=\sqrt{3}\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]
