The polarising angle for water is $53^\circ 4'$. If light is incident at this angle on the surface of water and reflected, the angle of refraction is:

  • A
    $53^\circ 4'$
  • B
    $126^\circ 56'$
  • C
    $36^\circ 56'$
  • D
    $30^\circ 4'$

The polarising angle for a transparent medium is $\theta$,and $v$ is the speed of light in that medium. Then the relation between $\theta$ and $v$ is (where $c$ is the velocity of light in air).

The Brewster angle for air to glass transition of light is (Refractive index of glass $= 1.5$).
