The Brewsters angle for an interface should be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Brewster's angle is defined as the angle of incidence at which the reflection of particular polarized light is zero, and it perfectly transmitted through a transparent surface.
Brewster's angle() is given by, , where is the refractive index of the dielectric and is the refractive index of air.
We know that, . (refractive index of any dielectric will be greater than refractive index of air.)
