Light of intensity I₀ is incident on air-water interface with an incident angle . The angle between the refracted and the reflected beams is 90^ . A polarization analyser is inserted in water at a distance of 5 cm from the interface. The axis of the analyser makes an angle 45^ with respect to the normal to the plane of incidence. Choose the correct statement(s) from the following.
Options
- AIntensity of the unpolarized light transmitted through the analyser is less than I₀ / 2
- BIntensity of the light polarized along the normal to the plane of incidence transmitted through the analyser i
- CIntensity of the light polarized along the plane of incidence transmitted through the analyser is less than I₀
- DIntensity of the light polarized along the plane of incidence reflected from the interface is less than I₀ / 2
Correct answer
D. Intensity of the light polarized along the plane of incidence reflected from the interface is less than I₀ / 2
