An unpolarized light beam travelling in air is incident on a medium of refractive index \( 1.73 \) at Brewster's angle. Then-

  1. reflected light is completely polarized and the angle of reflection is close to \( 60^{\circ} \)
  2. reflected light is partially polarized and the angle of reflection is close to \( 30^{\circ} \)
  3. both reflected and transmitted light are perfectly polarized with angles of reflection and refraction close to \( 60^{\circ} \) and \( 30^{\circ} \), respectively.
  4. transmitted light is completely polarized with angle of refraction close to \( 30^{\circ} \)

Correct answer · Option 1

reflected light is completely polarized and the angle of reflection is close to \( 60^{\circ} \)

Explanation

By Brewster's law, \( \tan i_p = \mu = 1.73 \approx \sqrt{3} \), so \( i_p = 60^{\circ} \). The angle of reflection equals \( i_p = 60^{\circ} \) and the angle of refraction is \( 90^{\circ} - 60^{\circ} = 30^{\circ} \).
