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°.
