According to Brewster's Law, when unpolarized light is incident on a transparent medium at the polarizing angle (Brewster's angle), the reflected and refracted rays are:
A. At exactly 90 degrees to each other
B. Parallel to each other
C. Totally internally reflected
D. At 45 degrees to each other
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Brewster's Law states that when light hits a dielectric boundary at a specific angle of incidence (Brewster's angle, theta_p), the reflected light is completely plane-polarized. At this exact geometric condition, the angle between the reflected ray and the refracted (transmitted) ray is strictly 90 degrees.
