Calculate the polarizing angle for water...

Calculate the polarizing angle for water diamond interface. Given the refractive indices of diamond and water are respectively 2.4 and 1.33.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`n_(diamo nd)=n_d=2.4, n_(water)=n_w=1.33, theta_p=?`
`tantheta_p=n_d/n_w=2.4/1.33=1.8`
`theta_p=tan^-1 (1.8)=60^@54'`
