CBSE Class 12-science Answered

The refractive index of a medium is square root of 3. What is the angle of refraction, if unpolarised light is incident on it at the polarising angle of the medium?

The relation between polarization angle θp and refractive index μ is given by
tan θp = μ
 
hence θp in this problem is tan-1√3 = 60º.
 
if incident angle is 60º then angle of refraction r is obtained from sin(r) = sin 60º / √3 = 1/2
 
hence angle of refraction is 30º
