Explanation:
Snell's Law:
- Snell's Law states the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes from one medium to another.
- It is applicable for perpendicular polarisation, where the electric field of the incident wave is perpendicular to the plane of incidence.
Brewster's Law:
- Brewster's Law states that when light is incident on a surface at a specific angle known as the Brewster angle, the reflected light is completely polarized parallel to the surface.
- It is applicable for parallel polarisation, where the electric field of the incident wave is parallel to the plane of incidence.
True Statement:
- The statement that the Snell law is applicable for perpendicular polarisation and the Brewster law is applicable for parallel polarisation is true.
- This is because Snell's Law deals with the angle of refraction for light passing through different mediums with perpendicular polarisation, while Brewster's Law deals with the angle at which light becomes completely polarized for parallel polarisation.
