Unpolarised light is incident from air on a plane surface of a material of refractive index u! At a particular angle of incidence mu it is found that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. Which of the following options is correct for this situation ?

Answer»

`I =tan^(-1)((1)/(MU))`
Reflected light is polarised with its ELECTRIC vector parallel to the plane of incidence.
`i=sin^(-1)((1)/(mu))`
Reflected light is polarised with its electric vector perpendicular to the plane of incidence.

Solution :When reflected and REFRACTED rays are perpendicular then only `SIGMA` component are there in reflected light (which are perpendicular to incidence plane) in polarization in reflection
