The polarising angle the transparent medium is `'theta'` and 'v' is the speed of light in that medium. Then the relation between `'theta'` and 'v' is
(c = velocity of light in air)

A

`theta=tan^(-1)""(v/c)`

B

`theta =cot^(-1)""(v/c)`

C

`theta=sin^(-1)""(v/c)`

D

`theta=cos^(-1)""(v/c)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

From Brewster's law ` tan theta = mu`
But `mu=(c)/(v) " " :. tan theta=(c)/(v)`
` :. cot theta =(v)/(c) " " :. "" theta = cot^(-1)""((v)/(c))`
