Refractive index of glass is 1.6 and that water is 1.33. Angle of polarisation for ray light inciding on glass from water is ......

A

`49^(@)48'`

B

`39^(@)12'`

C

`39^(@)44'`

D

`50^(@)16'`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`("Refractive index of glass")/("Refractive index of water")= tan theta_(p)`
`:.tan theta_(p)=(1.6)/(1.33)=1.2030`
`:. theta=tan^(-1)(1.2030)`
`=50^(@)16`
