Question

angle in this case, the angle of 12. Light is entering water (n2 4/3) from glass (ni 3/2). What is the Brewster's incidence in glass, where the angle of refraction in water is perpendicular to the angle of reflection in glass? B) 48°, 1.33 C) 52 D) 63 E) 90 Hint: Law of reflection: Oreflection 0incidence 13. Light is entering glass (n2 3/2) from water (n 4/3).

Explanation / Answer

(12)Apply Brewster law

tan theta = n2/n1

theta = tan^-1 ( n2/ n1)

= tan^-1 ( 4/3/3/2)

= 41.6degree

rounding two significant theta = 42 degree

option A is correct

(13)

tehta = tan^-1 ( 3/2/4/3)

= 48.37 degree

= 48 degree

option B is correct

(21)

Apply Malus law

I = Io cos^2 theta

if unpolarized light falls on a polaroid, then intensily of unpolarized light reduces half of its initial value

I1 = Io/2

option E is correct answer

(22)

Apply Malus law

I = Io cos^2 theta

if unpolarized light falls on a polaroid, then intensily of unpolarized light reduces half of its initial value

I1 = Io/2

I1 = Io/2

I2 = I1 cos^2 theta

= Io/2 cos^2 60

= Io/8

option (c) is correct answer
