JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

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 refracted beam with respect to the normal is ___________ .
\(\left(\tan ^{-1}(1.52)=57.7^{\circ}\right.\), refractive indices of air and glass are 1.00 and 1.52 , respectively)

  1. A 39.6\(^{\circ}\)
  2. B 32.3\(^{\circ}\)
  3. C 42.6\(^{\circ}\)
  4. D 36.3\(^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 32.3\(^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tan i=\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}=\frac{\mu_{ g }}{\mu_{ a }}\) \(\tan i =1.52\) \(i =57.7^{\circ}\) \(r =90^{\circ}- i\) \(r =32.3^{\circ}\)
