When a light ray incidents on the surface of a medium, the reflected ray is completely polarized. Then the angle between reflected and refracted rays is
  1. $45^{\circ}$
  2. $90^{\circ}$
  3. $120^{\circ}$
  4. $180^{\circ}$

Solution

According to Brewester's law if the reflected ray is completely polarized, then the reflected and refracted ray is perpendicular to each other. Thus, $\theta=90^{\circ}$
