Optics Question 892

Question: The angle of polarisation for any medium is $ 60{}^\circ $ The critical angle for this is

Options:

A) $ {{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} $

B) $ {{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{3} $

C) $ {{\sin }^{-1}}\sqrt{3} $

D) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}\sqrt{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ \mu =\tan i _{p}=\tan 60^{o}=\sqrt{3} $

$ \sin i _{C}=\frac{1}{\mu }=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\Rightarrow i _{C}={{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} $
