When the angle of incidence on a material is 60°, the reflected light is completely polarised. The velocity of the refracted ray inside the material in cm/s is: |
$\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \times 10^8$ $0.5 \times 10^8$ $\sqrt{3} \times 10^8$ $3 \times 10^8$ |
$\sqrt{3} \times 10^8$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\sqrt{3} \times 10^8$ According to Brewster's law, $μ=\tan(θ_B)$ [μ = Refractive index] $⇒μ=\tan(60°)=\sqrt{3}$ and, $v=\frac{c}{μ}$ [v = velocity of light in a material] $v=\frac{3×10^8}{\sqrt{3}}=\sqrt{3} \times 10^8m/s$ |
