Question

Unpolarised light is incident from the air on a plane surface of a material of refractive index μ\mu. At a particular angle of incidence ii, it is found that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. Which of the following options is correct for this situation?

A

the reflected light is polarised with its electric vector parallel to the plane of incidence.

B

the reflected light is polarised with its electric vector perpendicular to the plane of incidence.

C

i=sin1(1μ)i = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)

D

i=tan1(1μ)i = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)
