Q. The angle of incidence at which reflected light is totally polarized for reflection from air to glass (refractive index $n$) is
A) $\sin^{- 1}{(n)}$
B) $\sin^{- 1}\left( \frac{1}{n} \right)$
C) $\tan^{- 1}\left( \frac{1}{n} \right)$
D) $\tan^{- 1}{(n)}$
Explanation
(d) $\mu m = \tan{\theta_{p} \Rightarrow \theta_{p} = \tan^{- 1}n}$
