We wish to use a glass plate with index of refraction 1.57 to polarise light in air. For the light reflected by the glass to be fully polarized, the angles of incidence and refraction will be respectively :

A

`tan ^(-1) ( 1//1.57) , 90^(@) - tan ^(-1) ( 1//1.57)`

B

`90^(@) - tan^(-1) (1//1.57), tan ^(-1)(1//1.57)`

C

`tan ^(-1) ( 1.57), 90^(@) - tan ^(-1) (1. 57)`

D

`90^(@) - tan ^(-1) (1. 57) , tan ^(-1) (1.57)`
