When an unpolarised light beam is incident from air onto glass $(n = 1.5)$ at the polarising angle:

  • A
    Reflected beam is polarised $100$ percent
  • B
    Reflected and refracted beams are partially polarised
  • C
    The reason for $(A)$ is that almost all the light is reflected
  • D
    All of the above

$A$ 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 $= 1.33$)

At what angle of incidence $i$ will the light reflected from water be completely plane-polarized (in $^\circ$)? (Given refractive index of water $\mu = 1.33$)
