    When the angle of incidence on a material is\[{{60}^{o}}\], the reflected light is completely polarized. The velocity of the refracted ray inside the material is (in\[m{{s}^{-1}})\]

    A) \[3\times {{10}^{8}}\]                   

    B) \[\left[ \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} \right]\times {{10}^{8}}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{3}\times {{10}^{8}}\]                      

    D)  \[0.5\times {{10}^{8}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    From Brewster's law,\[\mu =\tan {{i}_{p}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{c}{v}=\tan {{60}^{o}}=\sqrt{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[v=\frac{c}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{\sqrt{3}}\]                    \[=\sqrt{3}\times {{10}^{8}}\,\,m/s\]
