STANDARD Physics Polarization MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

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

A

57.5°

B

115°

C

205°

D

145°

Correct Answer

Option C

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°.
