Light is incident at an angle `i` on a glass slab. If the reflected ray is completely polarised , then the angle of refraction is

A

`180^@-i`

B

`90^(@)+i`

C

`i`

D

`90^(@)-i`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

When the reflected ray is completely polarised, the ray is incident at the polarising angle i.

In this case ,`angle CBD=90^(@)`
`:. i+r+90^(@)=180^(@)`
`:. i+r=90^(@) " " :. r=90^(@)-i`
