What is the speed of light in a denser medium of polarising angle 30^(@) ?

Answer»

<P>

Solution :If a light ray PASSING through a denser medium is incident on air SURFACE and the polarising angle
`i_(p)=30^(@)`, then `tani_(p)=(1)/(n_(d))=(v_(d))/(C)`, where `v_(d)=`speed of light in denser medium and `c=`speed of light in air.
`impliesv_(d)=ctani_(p)=(3xx10^(8))xx(tan30^(@))=SQRT(3)xx10^(8)ms^(-1)=1.732xx10^(8)ms^(-1)`.
