A ray of light is incident on a medium boundry at polarising angle such that its deviation is `24^(@)`, then angle of incidence is :

A

`24^(@)`

B

`57^(@)`

C

`66^(@)`

D

`90^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Here, `i_(p)=r+delta`

`i_(p)=r+24" "...(i)`
Moreover," "`i_(p)+r=90^(@)" "...(ii)`
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
`i_(p)+(i_(p)-24)=90^(@)rArri_(p)=57^(@)`
