Find the polarising angle and the angle of refraction in glass if the critical angle for a certain wavelength of light in glass is `40^@`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the polarizing angle and the angle of refraction in glass given the critical angle of 40 degrees, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Critical Angle The critical angle (ic) is the angle of incidence in a denser medium (glass) for which the angle of refraction in the rarer medium (air) is 90 degrees. ### Step 2: Use Snell's Law to Find the Refractive Index According to Snell's Law: \[ ...
