Question : 4
Total: 27
What is the speed of light in a denser medium of polarising angle 30∘ ?
Solution:  
dµr=tan‌30∘=‌
1
√3

(where dµr, is the refractive index of rarer medium w.r.t. denser medium)
∴µd‌=√3
v‌=‌
c
µ
=‌
3×108
√3
=√3×108m∕ s

[Note : Also accept if a student solves it as follows]
‌µ=tan‌ip
‌µ=tan‌30∘=‌
1
√3


‌∴v=‌
3×108
1
√3
=3√3×108m∕ s
