The refractive index of a medium is `sqrt(3)`. What is the angle of refraction, if polarizing angle of the medium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `mu = sqrt(3) , r = ?`
As `tan i_(P) = mu = sqrt(3)`
`:. i_(P) = tan^(-1) (sqrt(3)) = 60^(@)`
As `r = 90^(@) - i_(P) :. R = 90^(@) - 60^(@) = 30^(@)`
