  • A
    $\sin^{-1}(n)$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}(1/n)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(1/n)$

When an unpolarized light falls at a particular angle on a glass plate (placed in air), it is observed that the reflected beam is linearly polarized. The angle of the refracted beam with respect to the normal is . . . . . . . $(\tan ^{-1}(1.52)=57.7^{\circ}$, refractive indices of air and glass are $1.00$ and $1.52$, respectively) (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ 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 $= 1.33$)

Unpolarised light is incident on a plane glass surface. What should be the angle of incidence so that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other (in $°$)?
