The polarizing angle of glass is 57°. A ray of light which is incident at this angle will have an angle of refraction as

A

`33^(@)`

B

`38^(@)`

C

`25^(@)`

D

`43^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As the ray of light incident at gass at polarizing angle `(i_(p))` so the reflected and reflected rays are perpendicular to each other .
If r is the angle of refraction , then
` i_(p) + r = 90^(@)`
` r = 90^(@) - i_(p)`
Here , `i_(p) = 57^(@)`
` :. " " r = 90^(@) - 57^(@) = 33^(@)`

Two mirrors meet at right angles . A ray of light is incident on one at an angle of 30^@ as shown in figure .Draw the reflected ray from the second mirror.

After tracing the path of a ray of light through a glass prism, a student has marked the angle of incidence [ angle i ], angle of refraction [ angle r ], angle of emergence [ angle e ], angle of prism [ angle A ], and angle of deviation [ angle D ] as shown in the diagram. The correctly marked angles are :
