A ray of light is incident on a medium boundry at polarising angle such that its deviation is `24^(@)`, then angle of incidence is :

A

`24^(@)`

B

`57^(@)`

C

`66^(@)`

D

`90^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`delta = 24^(@), I = ?`
`delta = i-r' = 24` …(1)
Now `i+r = 90` …(2)
`:.` Adding `eq^(n)` (1) and `eq^(n)` (2) we have
`2i = 114 " " :. i = 57^(@)`
