Question

What is the polarizing angle of the medium having refractive index 1.732

Answer 1

• Polarizing angle of the medium having refractive index 1.732 is π/3.

Given refractive index of the medium is 1.732.

1.732 is also the value of $\sqrt{3}$

and we know that,

μ = tan i where i is the angle of polarization.

Sp, by putting the value we get

i = tan⁻¹ μ

i = tan⁻¹ ( $\sqrt{3}$ )

i = π/3

Hence polarizing angle is π/3 .
