Q16.When unpolarized light is incident at an angle of 60° on a transparent medium from air. The reflected ray is completely polarized. The angle of refraction in the medium is (1) 30° (2) 60° (3) 90° (4) 45°

What This Question Tests

This question directly tests Brewster's Law, specifically the relationship between the angle of polarization and the angle of refraction when reflected light is completely polarized.

9.4 Figures 9.27(a) and (b) show refraction of a ray in air incident at 60° with the normal to a glass-air and water-air interface, respectively. Predict the angle of refraction in glass when the angle of incidence in water is 45° with the normal to a water-glass interface [Fig. 9.27(c)]. FIGURE 9.27

9.6 A prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. A parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. The angle of minimum deviation is measured to be 40°. What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? The refracting angle of the prism is 60°. If the prism is placed in water (refractive index 1.33), predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light.
