The critical angle of a certain medium is `sin ^(-1)((3)/(5))`. The polarizing angle of the medium is :

A

`sin^(-1)(4//5)`

B

`tan^(-1)(5//3)`

C

`tann^(-1)(3//4)`

D

`tan^(-1)(4//3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`sinC=3//5` . Hence, `mu=5//3`
If `i_(p)` is the polarizing angle,
`tani_(p)=mu "or" i_(p)=tan^(-1)(mu)=tan^(-1)(5//3)`
