The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the polarizing angle of a medium given its critical angle. The critical angle (C) is given as \( \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{3}{5} \right) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship**: The relationship between the polarizing angle (I) and the critical angle (C) is given by the formula: \[ \tan I = \frac{1}{\sin C} \] 2. **Identify the Critical Angle**: We know that: \[ C = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{3}{5} \right) \] 3. **Calculate \( \sin C \)**: From the definition of the inverse sine function, we have: \[ \sin C = \frac{3}{5} \] 4. **Substitute into the Formula**: Now, substituting \( \sin C \) into the relationship: \[ \tan I = \frac{1}{\sin C} = \frac{1}{\frac{3}{5}} = \frac{5}{3} \] 5. **Find the Polarizing Angle**: To find the polarizing angle (I), we take the inverse tangent: \[ I = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{5}{3} \right) \] 6. **Conclusion**: Thus, the polarizing angle of the medium is: \[ I = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{5}{3} \right) \] ### Final Answer: The polarizing angle of the medium is \( \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{5}{3} \right) \).
