When a light ray is incident on the surface of a medium,the reflected ray is completely polarized. Then the angle between the reflected and refracted rays is (in $^{\circ}$)

Unpolarised light is incident on the boundary between two dielectric media,whose dielectric constants are $2.8$ (medium $1$) and $6.8$ (medium $2$),respectively. To satisfy the condition that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other,the angle of incidence should be $\tan ^{-1}\left(1+\frac{10}{\theta}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$. The value of $\theta$ is $.............$ (Given for dielectric media,$\mu_{r}=1$)

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: If the Brewster's angle for the light propagating from air to glass is $\theta_B$,then Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta_B$.
Statement $II$: The Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\tan^{-1}(\mu_g)$ where $\mu_g$ is the refractive index of glass.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Let the speed of light in a medium be $V$ and the polarising angle be $i_p$. If $C$ is the speed of light in vacuum,what is the relation between them?
