When a light ray incidents on the surface of a medium, the reflected ray is completely polarized. Then the angle between reflected and refracted rays is

  1. A \(45^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(90^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(120^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(180^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(90^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Brewester's law if the reflected ray is completely polarized, then the reflected and refracted ray is perpendicular to each other. Thus, \(\theta=90^{\circ}\)
