STANDARD Physics Polarization MCQ Question
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
0°
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
Using, tan iₚ = √3, iₚ = tan⁻¹(√3) = 60°. As r = 90° - iₚ, r = 90° - 60° = 30°.
