Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: If the Brewster's angle for the light propagating from air to glass is $\theta_B$,then Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta_B$.
Statement $II$: The Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\tan^{-1}(\mu_g)$ where $\mu_g$ is the refractive index of glass.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false.
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true.
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false.
  • D
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true.

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,
