Question

The polarizing angle for a transparent medium is 'θ' and 'V' is the speed of light in that medium, then relation between 'θ' and 'V' is (c = velocity of light).

Options

• `theta = tan^-1 ("V"/"c")`

• `theta = cot^-1 ("V"/"c")`

• `theta = cos^-1 ("V"/"c")`

• `theta = sin^-1 ("V"/"c")`

Answer 1

`theta = cot^-1 ("V"/"c")`

Explanation:

tan θ = `mu = "c"/"V"`

`theta = tan^-1  "c"/"V" = cot^-1  "V"/"c"`
