STANDARD Physics Polarization MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
The critical angle of a certain medium is sin⁻¹(3/5). The polarizing angle of the medium is
A
sin⁻¹(4/5)
B
tan⁻¹(5/3)
C
tan⁻¹(3/4)
D
tan⁻¹(4/3)
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The critical angle iₚ = sin⁻¹(3/5). Using Brewster's law, tan iₚ = μ, where μ = 5/3. Therefore, iₚ = tan⁻¹(5/3).
