The angle of incidence at which reflected light is totally polarized for reflection from air to glass (refractive index n),

A

`tan^-1((1)/(n))`

B

`sin^-1((1)/(n))`

C

`sin^-1(n)`

D

`tan^-1(n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The angle of incidence for total polarization is given by `tantheta=nimpliestheta=tan^(-1)n`
Where n is the refractive index of the glass.
