Question:

The Brewster’s angle for air to glass interface then an unpolarised light is incident on a glass (n = 1.5), such that reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, is nearly:

Options:

$i_B=30°$

$i_B=45°$

$i_B=57°$

$i_B=47°$

Correct Answer:

$i_B=57°$

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3) : $i_B=57°$

From Brewster’s law

$tan(i_B)=\mu $

$i_B=tan^{-1}(1.5)≈57°$
