The Brewster angle for the glass air int...

The Brewster angle for the glass air interface is `54.74^(@)` if a ray of light going from air to glass strikes at an angle of incidence `45^(@)` then the angle of refraction is

A

`60^(@)`

B

`30^(@)`

C

`25^(@)`

D

`54.74^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`n= tantheta_(B) = tan(54.74^(@))= sqrt(2)`
Snell law
`sqrt(2)= (sin45^(@))/(sinr)implies r= 30^(@)`
