Question

A linearly polarized light is incident at Brewster angle on the surface of a dielectric medium .If the incident beam is polarized parallel to the plane of incidence , then which one of the following statement is correct ?

• A. The incident light will be completely reflected and no light is refracted at all
• B. Half of the incident light will be reflected and half of the light will be refracted
• C. The incident light will be completely refracted and there will not be any reflected light
• D. $\frac{1}{3}rd$ of the incident light will be reflected and the rest will be refracted

Answer 1

The correct option is C The incident light will be completely refracted and there will not be any reflected light

Breswter angle is the angle of incidence for which there is no reflection from the media interface i.e it is the angle of incidence for which the reflection coefficient is zero.

So we can say that option C would be the correct answer.
