Question

what is polarization of light calculate the refractive index of a medium if angle of polarisation is 60 degree​

Answer 1

Answer:

60 degree

Explanation:

the refractive index will be 120

Answer 2

Given:

Angle of polarization $\theta _{b} =$ 60°

To Find:

Refractive index of a medium,

According to the Brewster's law,

  $n = \tan \theta _{b}$

Where $n =$ refractive index, $\theta _{b} =$ polarizing angle or brewster angle

  $n = \tan 60$

But we know that the value of $\tan 60 = \sqrt{3}$

  $n = \sqrt{3}$

  $n = 1.73$

Therefore, the refractive index of a medium is 1.73.
