Physics Question on Wave optics
When unpolarised light is incident on a plane glass plate at Brewster?? angle, then which of the following statements is correct?
A
Reflected and refracted rays are completely polarised with their planes of polarization parallel to each other
B
Reflected and refracted rays are completely polarised with their planes of polarization perpendicular to each other
C
Reflected light is plane polarised but transmitted light is partially polarised
D
Reflected light is partially polarised but refracted light is plane polarised
Answer
Reflected light is plane polarised but transmitted light is partially polarised
Explanation
Solution
At Brewster?? angle, only the reflected light is plane polarised, but transmitted light is partially polarised.
