The polarizing angle of glass is \( 57^{\circ} \). A ray of light which is incident at this angle will have an
angle of refraction as

  1. A \(25^{\circ}\)
  2. B \( 33^{\circ} \)
  3. C \( 43^{\circ} \)
  4. D \( 38^{\circ} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 33^{\circ} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, polarising angle of glass, \( i_{p}=57^{\circ} \)
We know that, when the light is incident at polarising angle then reflected and refracted rays are at right angles to each
other.
Therefore,
\[
r=90^{\circ}-i_{p}=90-57=33^{\circ}
\]
Therefore, angle of refraction is \( 33^{\circ} \).
