Ray Optics

Question:

A ray of unpolarised light is incident on a glass plate of refractive index 1.54 at polarising angle, then angle of refraction is

Options:

33°

44°

57°

90°

Correct Answer:

33°

Explanation:

$μ = tan_{ip}$ or $tan_{ip} =1.54$

i.e., $ip = tan^{–1} 1.54 = 57°$,

But $r + i_p = 90°\, ∴r = 90° - i_p$

$= 90° - 57 = 33°$
