STANDARD Physics Polarization MCQ Question
Unpolarized light is incident on a plane glass surface. The angle of incidence so that reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other is given by
tan iₚ = μ/2
tan iₚ = μ
sin iₚ = μ
cos iₚ = μ
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Brewster's law states that the angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface, with no reflection, is given by μ = tan iₚ.
