A ray of light is incident on the surface of a glass plate at an angle of incidence equal to Brewster's angle `phi`. If `mu` represents the refractive index of glass with respect to air, then the angle between reflected and refracted rays is

A

(a) `90^@+phi`

B

(b) `sin^-1(mu cos phi)`

C

(c) `90^@`

D

(d) `90^@-sin^-1(sinphi//mu)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
