The angle of incidence at which reflected light is totally polarized for reflection from air to glass (refractive index n),

A

`sin^(-1)(mu)`

B

`sin^(-1)(1//mu)`

C

`tan^(-1)(1//mu)`

D

`tan^(-1)(mu)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

According to Brewster.s law of polarization,
`mu=tani_(p)` where `i_(p)` is angle of incidence
`:.i_(p)=tan^(-1)(mu)`.
