Unpolarised light is incident from air on plane surface of a material of refractive index μ . At a particular angle of incident i it is found that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. Which of the following options is correct for this situation?

Question

Unpolarised light is incident from air on plane surface of a material of refractive index μ . At a particular angle of incident i it is found that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. Which of the following options is correct for this situation?, i = sin - 1 ⁡ 1 μ, Reflected light is polarized with its electric vector perpendicular to the plane of incidence, Reflected light is polarized with its electric vector parallel to the plane of incident, i = tan - 1 ⁡ 1 μ

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

when reflected light rays and reflected rays are perpendicular, reflected light is polarised with electric field vector perpendicular to the plane of incidence. Also. Brewster's law μ = tan i .
