From Brewster's law, except for polished metallic surfaces, the polarising angle

A

depends on wavelength and is different for different colours

B

independent of wavelength and is different for different colours

C

independent of wavelength and is same for different colours

D

depends on wavelength and is same for different colours

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`mu=tantheta`
`:.theta_(P)=tan^(-1)(mu)`
Thus `theta_(p)` depends on `muandmu` depends on `lamda`
`:.` Polarising angle depends depends on wavelength and it is different for different colours.
