Which of the following option shows the Brewster's law in polarisation of light ?

  1. A \( \mu \sin i_B = 1 \)
  2. B \( \mu \cos i_B = 1 \)
  3. C \( \mu \cot i_B = 1 \)
  4. D \( \mu \tan i_B = 1 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \mu \cot i_B = 1 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Brewster's Law states that \(\mu = \operatorname { t a n } i _{ B }\). By substituting \(\tan i _{ B }\) with \(/ \cot i_{B^{\prime}}\), the equation becomes \(\mu=1 / \cot i_{B^{\prime}}\), which simplifies to \(\cot i_B=1\). \( \mu \cot i_B = 1 \)
