The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements regarding Brewster's angle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Brewster's Angle**: Brewster's angle (θ_B) is the angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface, with no reflection. The formula for Brewster's angle when light travels from medium 1 (with refractive index n1) to medium 2 (with refractive index n2) is given by: \[ \tan(\theta_B) = \frac{n_2}{n_1} \] 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - The first statement claims that if the Brewster's angle for light propagating from air (n1 = 1) to glass (n2 = μ_g) is θ_B, then the Brewster's angle for light propagating from glass to air is \( \frac{\pi}{2} - \theta_B \). - From the formula, we can derive that: \[ \tan(\theta_B) = \frac{μ_g}{1} \implies θ_B = \tan^{-1}(μ_g) \] - For light traveling from glass to air: \[ \tan(\theta_2) = \frac{1}{μ_g} \implies θ_2 = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{μ_g}\right) \] - Using the relation \( \theta_1 + \theta_2 = \frac{\pi}{2} \), we find: \[ θ_2 = \frac{\pi}{2} - θ_B \] - Therefore, Statement I is **True**. 3. **Analyzing Statement II**: - The second statement claims that the Brewster's angle for light propagating from glass to air is \( \tan^{-1}(μ_g) \). - As derived earlier, the Brewster's angle for light going from glass to air is actually: \[ θ_2 = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{μ_g}\right) \] - Thus, Statement II is **False** since it incorrectly states that \( θ_2 = \tan^{-1}(μ_g) \). 4. **Conclusion**: - Statement I is True. - Statement II is False. - Therefore, the correct answer is that Statement I is true and Statement II is false. ### Final Answer: - Statement I is True, Statement II is False.
