A ray of light is incident at polarising angle ' \(\theta\) ' on air-glass interface, if ' \(\lambda_{\mathrm{a}}\) ' and ' \(\lambda_{\mathrm{g}}\) ' are the wavelengths of light in air and glass respectively, then

  1. A \(\lambda_g=\lambda_a \cot \theta\)
  2. B \(\lambda_a=\lambda_g \tan ^2 \theta\)
  3. C \(\lambda_g=\lambda_a \tan ^2 \theta\)
  4. D \(\lambda_a=\lambda_g \cot \theta\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\lambda_g=\lambda_a \cot \theta\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mu = \tan \theta \) \( \mu = \frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{a}}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{g}}} \)
