$A$ ray of light is incident at the polarising angle $\theta$ on an air-glass interface. If $\lambda_{a}$ and $\lambda_{g}$ are the wavelengths of light in air and glass respectively,then:

  • A
    $\lambda_g = \lambda_a \cot \theta$
  • B
    $\lambda_a = \lambda_g \tan^2 \theta$
  • C
    $\lambda_g = \lambda_a \tan^2 \theta$
  • D
    $\lambda_a = \lambda_g \cot \theta$

Unpolarised red light is incident on the surface of a lake at an incident angle $\theta_{R}$. An observer seeing the light reflected from the water surface through a polariser notices that on rotating the polariser,the intensity of light drops to zero at a certain orientation. The red light is replaced by unpolarised blue light. The observer sees the same effect with reflected blue light at an incident angle $\theta_{B}$. Then,
