MCQ
A light whose electric field vectors are completely removed by using a good Polaroid, allowed to incident on the surface of the prism at Brewster's angle. Choose the most suitable option for the phenomenon related to the prism.
  • A
    Reflected and refracted rays will be perpendicular to each other
  • B
    Wave will propagate along the surface of prism
  • C
    No refraction, and there will be total reflection of light.
  • No reflection and there will be total transmission of light

Answer

Correct option: D.
No reflection and there will be total transmission of light
d
But as the incident light electric field vectors are completely removed so there will be no reflection and there will be total transmission of light, explained by an experiment in $NCERT.$

[Reference $NCERT$ Part$-2$ $Pg$ $-380,$ (A special case of total transmission)]

Note : Since direction of polarization is not mentioned hence most suitable option $(D)$ corresponding to case in which electric field is absent perpendicular to plane consisting incident and normal.
