When unpolarised light is incident on the interface separating the rarer medium and the denser medium, Brewster angle is found to be `60^(@)` . Determine the refractive index of the denser medium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that `mu = tan ` ip and `lambda_(p)=60^(@), mu = tan 60 = sqrt(3)`
