The polarising angle for a transparent medium is $\theta$,and $v$ is the speed of light in that medium. Then the relation between $\theta$ and $v$ is (where $c$ is the velocity of light in air).

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.

$A$ solid glass sphere of refractive index $n=\sqrt{3}$ and radius $R$ contains a spherical air cavity of radius $\frac{R}{2}$,as shown in the figure. $A$ very thin glass layer is present at the point $O$ so that the air cavity (refractive index $n=1$) remains inside the glass sphere. An unpolarized,unidirectional and monochromatic light source $S$ emits a light ray from a point inside the glass sphere towards the periphery of the glass sphere. If the light is reflected from the point $O$ and is fully polarized,then the angle of incidence at the inner surface of the glass sphere is $\theta$. The value of $\sin \theta$ is

$A$ camera equipped with a polariser is placed on a mountain to record only the reflected image of the sun from the surface of a sea,as shown in the figure. If the sun rises at $6.00 \, AM$ and sets at $6.00 \, PM$ during the summer,then at what time in the afternoon will the recorded image have the lowest intensity? Assume there are no clouds and the intensity of the sun at the sea surface is constant throughout the day. (Refractive index of water $= 1.33$)
