Let the speed of light and the polarising angle for a given medium be ' V ' and ' i _p ' respectively. The relation between them is ( C= speed of light in vacuum)
Options
- AV = C ( i _ p )
- BV (i_p )=C (i_p )
- CC=V (i_p )
- DV (i_p )=C (i_p )
Correct answer
D. V (i_p )=C (i_p )
Step-by-step solution
Brewster's Law states that the tangent of the polarizing angle i_p equals the refractive index: (i_p) = n . The refractive index is defined as n = C/V , where C is the speed of light in vacuum and V in the medium. Substituting gives (i_p) = C/V . Expressing the tangent as a ratio: (i_p)/ (i_p) = C/V . Rearranging yields V (i_p) = C (i_p) . This matches option D .
