When an unpolarised light beam is incident from air onto glass $(n = 1.5)$ at the polarising angle:

  • A
    Reflected beam is polarised $100$ percent
  • B
    Reflected and refracted beams are partially polarised
  • C
    The reason for $(A)$ is that almost all the light is reflected
  • D
    All of the above

$A$ ray of unpolarised light is incident on a glass surface of refractive index $1.73$ at the polarizing angle. The angle of refraction will be. [Take $\tan 60^{\circ} = 1.73$] (in $^{\circ}$)

Unpolarised red light is incident on the surface of a lake at an incident angle $\theta_{R}$. An observer seeing the light reflected from the water surface through a polariser notices that on rotating the polariser,the intensity of light drops to zero at a certain orientation. The red light is replaced by unpolarised blue light. The observer sees the same effect with reflected blue light at an incident angle $\theta_{B}$. Then,

Let the speed of light in a medium be $V$ and the polarising angle be $i_p$. If $C$ is the speed of light in vacuum,what is the relation between them?

The refractive index of a material is equal to the tangent of the polarising angle. This is called:
