Q. The angle of polarization for any medium is $60{^\circ}$, what will be critical angle for this
A) $\sin^{- 1}\sqrt{3}$
B) $\tan^{- 1}\sqrt{3}$
C) $\cos^{- 1}\sqrt{3}$
D) $\sin^{- 1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Explanation
(d) By using $\mu = \tan\theta_{p} \Rightarrow \mu = \tan 60 = \sqrt{3}$
Also $C = \sin^{- 1}{\left( \frac{1}{\mu} \right) \Rightarrow C = \sin^{- 1}\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)}$
