When an unpolarized light falls at a particular angle on a glass plate (placed in air), it is observed that the reflected beam is linearly polarized. The angle of the refracted beam with respect to the normal is . . . . . . . $(\tan ^{-1}(1.52)=57.7^{\circ}$, refractive indices of air and glass are $1.00$ and $1.52$, respectively) (in $^{\circ}$)

  • A

  • B
    $32.3$
  • C
    $42.6$

$A$ person lives in a high-rise building at a height of $30 \ m$ on the bank of a river. Across the river is a well-lit tower of height $60 \ m$. When the person looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light from the top of the tower reflecting from the river surface,he finds the intensity of light is least. If the refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$,the width of the river is ...... $m$.

$A$ 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 $(\tan 57^{\circ} = 1.54)$.

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

If the polarising angle for an air-glass interface is $56.3^o$,what is the angle of refraction in glass (in $^o$)?
