For a given transparent medium with respect to vacuum, the polarizing angle (Brewster's angle) is and the critical angle for total internal reflection is . Which of the following is the correct mathematical relation between and ?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
According to Brewster's law, the refractive index of the medium is related to the polarizing angle by:
The critical angle for total internal reflection for the same medium with respect to vacuum is given by:
Substituting the value of from the first equation into the second, we get:
