Question

What happens to electric field component when unpolarized light is incident on surface such that reflected and refracted light are at right angles?

• A. Parallel component remains in reflected light
• B. Prependicular component remains in reflected
  light
• C. It will remain unpolarized
• D. Partially polarised reflected light.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Prependicular component remains in reflected

light
UnPolarized light is sum of both horizontal component and vertical component when unpolarised light incident on the surface. Vertical component is refracted component being absorbed as its right angles but perpendicular component remain in reflected light.

Correct option is B
