An unpolarised light beam strikes a glass surface at Brewster's angle. Then

  • A
    The refracted light will be completely polarised.
  • B
    Both the reflected and refracted light will be completely polarised.
  • C
    The reflected light will be completely polarised but the refracted light will be partially polarised.
  • D
    The reflected light will be partially polarised.

Unpolarised red light is incident on the surface of a lake at an incident angle $\theta_{R}$. An observer seeing the light reflected from the water surface through a polariser notices that on rotating the polariser,the intensity of light drops to zero at a certain orientation. The red light is replaced by unpolarised blue light. The observer sees the same effect with reflected blue light at an incident angle $\theta_{B}$. Then,

Light,whose electric field vectors are completely removed in the plane of incidence by using a good Polaroid,is incident on the surface of a prism at Brewster's angle. Choose the most suitable option for the phenomenon related to the prism.

The angle of incidence of light falling on a material is $60^{\circ}$,and the reflected light is completely polarized. The speed of the refracted ray inside the material (in $m/s$) is:

The polarising angle for a transparent medium is $\theta$ and $V$ is the speed of light in that medium. The relation between $\theta$ and $V$ is (where $c$ is the velocity of light in vacuum):

For a given medium,the polarizing angle is $60^{\circ}$. The critical angle for this medium is . . . . . .
