$A$ ray of light is incident on the surface of a glass plate at an angle of incidence equal to Brewster's angle $\Phi$. If $\mu$ denotes the refractive index of glass with respect to air, then what will be the angle between the reflected and refracted rays?

  • A
    $90^\circ$
  • B
    $90^\circ - \sin^{-1}(\sin \Phi/\mu)$
  • C
    $90^\circ - \sin^{-1}(\mu \cos \Phi)$
  • D
    $90^\circ + \Phi$

$A$ camera equipped with a polariser is placed on a mountain to record only the reflected image of the sun from the surface of a sea,as shown in the figure. If the sun rises at $6.00 \, AM$ and sets at $6.00 \, PM$ during the summer,then at what time in the afternoon will the recorded image have the lowest intensity? Assume there are no clouds and the intensity of the sun at the sea surface is constant throughout the day. (Refractive index of water $= 1.33$)

$A$ person lives in a high-rise building at a height of $30 \ m$ on the bank of a river. Across the river is a well-lit tower of height $60 \ m$. When the person looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light from the top of the tower reflecting from the river surface,he finds the intensity of light is least. If the refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$,the width of the river is ...... $m$.
