The critical angle of a certain medium is `sin ^(-1)((3)/(5))`. The polarizing angle of the medium is :

A

`sin^(-1)(4/5)`

B

`tan^(-1)(5/3)`

C

`tan^(-1)(3/4)`

D

`tan^(-1)(4/3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Polarising angle, `tani=1/(sinC)`
`therefore" "coti=sin(sin^(-1)(3/5))`
`or" "tani=5/3rArri=tan^(-1)(5/3)`
