STANDARD Physics Polarization MCQ Question
Light is incident on a glass surface at polarizing angle of 57.5°. Then the angle between the incident ray and the refracted ray is
57.5°
115°
205°
145°
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When light is incident at the polarizing angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. Given iₚ = 57.5°, the angle between the incident ray and the refracted ray is 2iₚ + 90° = 205°.
