$A$ ray of light is incident from a denser to a rarer medium. The critical angle for total internal reflection is $\theta_{iC}$ and Brewster's angle of incidence is $\theta_{iB}$,such that $\sin \theta_{iC} / \sin \theta_{iB} = \eta = 1.28$. The relative refractive index of the two media is

  • A
    $0.2$
  • B
    $0.4$
  • C
    $0.8$
  • D
    $0.9$

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
