The Brewsters angle ib for an interface ...

The Brewsters angle `i_b` for an interface should be:

A

`0^(@) lt i_(b) lt 30^(@)`

B

`30^(@) lt i_(b) lt 45^(@)`

C

`45^(@) lt i_(b) lt 90^(@)`

D

`i_(b)= 90^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`mu= tan i_(b)`
`1 lt mu lt oo`
`1 lt tan i_(b) lt oo`
`tan^(-1) lt i_(b) lt tan^(-1)oo`
`45^(@) lt i_(b) lt 90^(@)`
