  • A
    $\sin^{-1}(n)$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}(1/n)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(1/n)$

$A$ beam of light $AO$ is incident on a glass slab $(\mu = 1.54)$ in a direction as shown in the figure. The reflected ray $OB$ is passed through a Nicol prism. On viewing through the rotating Nicol prism,we find that $(\tan 57^{\circ} = 1.54)$.

Can reflection result in plane polarised light if the light is incident on the interface from the side with higher refractive index?

$A$ 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?

When the angle of incidence is $60^{\circ}$ on the surface of a glass slab,it is found that the reflected ray is completely polarized. The velocity of light in glass is
