Question

An unpolarized light beam is incident on a surface at and angle of incidence equal to Brewster’s angle. Then,

• A. The reflected and the refracted beam are both partially polarized
• B. The reflected bam is partially polarized and the refracted beam is completely polarized and are at right angles to each other
• C. The reflected beam is completely polarized and the refracted beam is partially polarized and are at right angles to each other
• D. Both the reflected and the refracted beams are completely polarized and are at right angles to each of other.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The reflected beam is completely polarized and the refracted beam is partially polarized and are at right angles to each other

Answer 2

The reflected beam is completely polarized and the refracted beam is partially polarized and are at right angles to each other.
