Solution

The correct option is C Brewster's angle is different for different wavelengths.
Brewster's angle is an angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface,
with no reflection.
θB=tan1(n2n1)
n2 refractive index of final medium
n1 refractive index of initial medium
As different wavelength have different refractive indices the brewster angle is also different.
