A ray of light is lncident on a glass plate at `60^(@)`. The reflected and refracted rays are found to be mutually perpe:ndiwlar. The refractive index of the glass is

A

2

B

1.73

C

1.5

D

1.15

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The reflected and retracted rays are perpendicular , it means the angle of incidence is equal to polarsing angle `(i_(p))`
`therefore mu tan i_(p) = tan 60^(@)`
` = sqrt(3) = 173`
