Ordinary light incident on a glass slab ...

Ordinary light incident on a glass slab at the polarizing angle suffers a deviation of `22^(@)`. The value of angle of refraction is .......

A

`74^(@)`

B

`22^(@)`

C

`90^(@)`

D

`34^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D


From figure `theta_(p)=r+22^(@) " "..(1)`
Now from proof of Brewster.s law.
`theta_(p)+90^(@)+r=180^(@)`
`:.` From result (1)
`r+22^(@)=r=90^(@)`
`:.2r=68^(@)`
`:.r=34^(@)`
