(ii) refractive index of the medium.

उत्तर
(i) when the light is incident at the polarizing angle, the angle of refraction and angle of polarization are related according to the equation,
∠ip + ∠r = 90°
The angle of refraction is given as, 30°. So the angle of polarization, ∠ip = 90° - 30° = 60°
(ii) Applying Snell's law, we can write, the refractive index of the transparent media,` mu = sin"i"_"p"/sin "r"`
⇒ `mu = sin60^@/sin30^@ = (sqrt3/2)/(1/2) = sqrt3`
⇒ ` = mu sqrt3`
