Given below are two statements :
Statement I : If the Brewster's angle for the light propagating from air to glass is ${\theta}_{B}$ , then Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\dfrac{\pi}{2} - {\theta}_{B}$ .

Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement I : If the Brewster's angle for the light propagating from air to glass is

Correct answer: B. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

Applying Snell's law, we get μ _ a sini = μ _ g (90 ° - i) tani = μ _ g μ _ a When going from glass to air tan i ^ ' = μ _ a μ _ g = coti Clearly, i ^ ' = ((π)/(2) - i) & hence Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
