When the angle of incidence on a materia...

When the angle of incidence on a material is `60^(@)`, the reflected light is completely polarised. The velocity of the refracted ray inside the materials is (in m//sec^(-1))

A

`3xx10^(8)`

B

`(3/(sqrt(2)))xx10^(8)`

C

`sqrt3xx10^(8)`

D

`0.5xx10^(8)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

From Brewster's law, `mu=tani_(p)`
`rArr" "c/v=tan60^(@)=sqrt3`
`rArr" "v=c/sqrt3=(3xx10^(8))/sqrt3`
`=sqrt3xx10^(8)ms^(-1)`
