B

Statement-I asnd Statement-II are true but Statement-II is not the correct explanation of Statement-I

C

Statement-I is true, Statement-II is false

D

Statement-I is false, Statement-II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Brewster's angle i.e. `tan theta_(B) = (n_(2))/(n_(1))` where `n_(2) lt n_(1)` .
critical angle is `sin theta_(c ) = (n_(2))/(n_(1))`
where `n_(2) lt n_(1)` .
As `|tan theta_(B)|gt|sin theta_(c )|` for , arge amgles, `theta_(B) lt theta_(C )` . Thus, polarisation by reflection shall definetly occure.
