When the angle of incidence on a materia...

When the angle of incidence on a material is `60^(@)`, the reflected light is completely polarized. The velocity of the refracted ray inside the material is (in `ms^(-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

From Brewster's law, `mu=tani_(p)rArrc/v=tan 60^(@)=sqrt(3)`
`rArrv=c/sqrt(3)=(3xx10^(8))/sqrt(3)=sqrt(3)xx10^(8)ms^(-1)`
