Light is incident on a glass surface at ...

Light is incident on a glass surface at polarising angle of `57.5^(@)` Then the angle between the incident ray and the refracted ray is

A

`57.5^(@)`

B

`115^(@)`

C

`65^(@)`

D

`205^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

When light ray incident at polarising angle, then angle of incidence (i) and angle of reflection ( r) are equal. Also, angle between reflected and refracted ray is `90^(@)`.

Thus, angle between incident ray and refracted rays
`=57.5^(@)+57.5^(@)+90^(@)=205^(@)`
