Question

What will be the angle of refraction in the glass, if the polarization angle for the air-glass interface is 63.8^o?

(a) 56.3^o

(b) 33.7^o

(c) 90^o

(d) 0^o

I got this question in examination.

Asked question is from Wave Optics in section Wave Optics of Physics – Class 12

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) 33.7^o

To explain: As ip + rp = 90^o

rp = 90^o – 63.8^o

rp = 26.2^o

Therefore, the angle of refraction in the glass is 26.2^o.
