Critical angle for a medium is sin^(-1) ...

Critical angle for a medium is `sin^(-1) (0.6)`, then polarization angle for this medium is ......

A

`sin^(-1)(0.8)`

B

`sin^(-1)(1.5)`

C

`tan^(-1)(1.6666)`

D

`tan^(-1)(0.6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Critical angle `C= sin^(-1)(0.6)`
`:. sinC=0.6`
`:.(1)/(n)=0.6`
`:.n=(1)/(0.6)`
`:. "tan" theta_(p)=(1)/(0.6) " " [ :. n= tan theta_(p)]`
`:. theta_(p)=tan^(-1)((1)/(0.6))`
`:.theta_(p)tan^(-1)((1.6666)`
