When Light Is Totally Polarized by Reflection at an Interface n1n_{1}

Question 4

Multiple Choice

When light is totally polarized by reflection at an interface between two materials where the index of refraction for the incident medium is n1n_{1} and for the other is n2n_{2} , the incident angle is given by θ=tan1(n2/n1) \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(n_{2} / n_{1}\right) . This equation holds


A) only when n2<n1+1n_{2}<n_{1}+1 .
B) only when n2>n1n_{2}>n_{1} .
C) for all values of n1n_{1} and n2n_{2} .
D) only when n2>n1+1n_{2}>n_{1}+1 .
E) only when n1>n2n_{1}>n_{2} .
