From Brewster's law, except for polished metallic surfaces, the polarising angle

A

depends on wavelength and is different for different colours

B

independent of wavelength and is different for different colours

C

independent of wavelength and is same for different colours

D

depends on wavelength and is same for different colours

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As we know, according to Brewster's law,
`tan i = mu [{:("where ,i",= " Brewster angle"),(mu,=" refractive index")]:}`
So, we can say that polarising angle depends on wavelength and is different for different colours of light.
