Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

The refractive index of a medium is √3. If a beam of unpolarized light is incident on it at the polarizing angle of the medium, the angle of refraction is

A

60°

B

45°

C

30°

D

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Using, tan iₚ = √3, iₚ = tan⁻¹(√3) = 60°. As r = 90° - iₚ, r = 90° - 60° = 30°.
