Light is incident on a glass surface at polarizing angle of 57.5 0 .Then the angle between the incident ray and the refracted ray is :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
When a light is incident at polarizing angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other as shown in the figure.
Where 
is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of reflection. 
is the angle of refraction.
Given 
Let 
be the angle between the incident ray and the refracted ray.
From figure
