A light whose electric field vectors are completely removed by using a good polaroid, allowed to incident on the surface of the prism at Brewster's angle. Choose the most suitable option for the phenomenon related to the prism.
Show Hint
- Reflected and refracted rays will be perpendicular to each other.
- Wave will propagate along the surface of prism.
- No refraction, and there will be total reflection of light.
- No reflection, and there will be total transmission of light.
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The polaroid is oriented to remove the perpendicular component, so the light incident on the prism is p-polarised (E-vector in the plane of incidence).
For such light at Brewster's angle there is no reflected ray: the entire intensity is transmitted (refracted) into the prism.
Hence: no reflection and total transmission of light. Option (1) is a property of Brewster's angle in general but there is no reflected ray here, so it is not the "most suitable" description.
Answer: (4) No reflection, and there will be total transmission of light.
