Determine the polarising angle of the light ray moving from water of refractive index 1.33 to glass of refractive index 1.5.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From Brewster's law we have,
`""_(w)mu_(g) = tani_(p)` [here `i_(p)` = polarising angle]
or, `(""_(a)mu_(g))/(""_(a)mu_(w)) = tani_(p) " " or, (1.5)/(1.33) = tan i_(P)`
or, `tani_(p) = 1.13`
or, ` i_(p) = tan^(-1)(1.13) = 48.5^(@)`
