A beam of unpolarized light travels from a transparent liquid of refractive index into a glass slab of refractive index . The polarizing angle (Brewster's angle) for the light incident on the glass from the liquid is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
According to Brewster's law for an interface between two media, the tangent of the polarizing angle is equal to the relative refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
Given that the refractive index of the incident medium (liquid) is and the refracting medium (glass) is , we have:
Therefore, .
