Consider a tank made of glass (refractive index 1.5) with a thick bottom. It is filled with a liquid of refractive index μ. A student finds that, irrespective of what the incident angle i (see figure) is for a beam of light entering the liquid, the light reflected from the liquid glass interface is never completely polarized. For this to happen, the minimum value of μ is: |
| A. | \(\sqrt {\frac{5}{3}} \) |
| B. | \(\frac{3}{{\sqrt 5 }}\) |
| C. | \(\frac{5}{{\sqrt 3 }}\) |
| D. | \(\frac{4}{3}\) |
| Answer» C. \(\frac{5}{{\sqrt 3 }}\) | |
