A light ray incidents on water `(n=4/3)` surface from air and reflected from air and reflected part of it is found to be polarized. Find the deviation of refracted light from its original path:

A

`53^(@)`

B

`90^(@)`

C

`74^(@)`

D

`16^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`i =tan^(-1) .(4)/(3)=53`
`i-r=53^(@)-sin^(-1)((sini)/n)`
`=53^(@)-37^(@) =16^(@)`
