A ray of light is incident on the surface of a glass plate at an angle of incidence equal to Brewster's angle `phi`. If `mu` represents the refractive index of glass with respect to air, then the angle between reflected and refracted rays is

A

`90^(@)+phi`

B

`sin^(-1)(mucos phi)`

C

`90^(@)`

D

`90^(@)-sin^(-1)(sinphi//4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
