When the angle of incidence on a material is `60^(@)`, the reflected light is completely polarised. The velocity of the refracted ray inside the materials is (in m//sec^(-1))

A

`3xx10^(8)`

B

`(3/sqrt(2))xx10^(8)`

C

`sqrt(3)xx10^(8)`

D

`0.5xx10^(8)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`mu=tan 60^(@)=sqrt(3)`
`v=c/mu=(3xx10^(8))/sqrt(3)=sqrt(3)xx10^(8) m//sec`
