If the polarising angle for a given medium is ` 60^@`, then the refractive index of the medium is

A

`(1)/(sqrt(3))`

B

1

C

`(sqrt(3))/(2)`

D

`sqrt(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`theta_(P) = 60^(@), mu_(m) = ?`
`mu_(m) = tan theta_(P)`
`= tan 60^(@) = sqrt(3)`
