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

The polarising angle for a transparent medium is $\theta$ and $V$ is the speed of light in that medium. The relation between $\theta$ and $V$ is (where $c$ is the velocity of light in vacuum):

$A$ ray of light is incident on the surface of a glass plate at an angle of incidence equal to Brewster's angle $\Phi$. If $\mu$ denotes the refractive index of glass with respect to air, then what will be the angle between the reflected and refracted rays?

The polarising angle for water is $53^\circ 4'$. If light is incident at this angle on the surface of water and reflected, the angle of refraction is:

Consider a tank made of glass (refractive index $1.5$) with a thick bottom. It is filled with a liquid of refractive index $\mu$. $A$ student finds that,irrespective of what the incident angle $i$ (see figure) is for a beam of light entering the liquid,the light reflected from the liquid-glass interface is never completely polarized. For this to happen,the minimum value of $\mu$ is
