An unpolarised light beam strikes a glass surface at Brewster's angle. Then
- AThe reflected light will be partially polarised.
- BThe refracted light will be completely polarised.
- CBoth the reflected and refracted light will be completely polarised.
- DThe reflected light will be completely polarised but the refracted light will be partially polarised.

Correct answer: D

According to Brewster's law, reflected rays are completely polarized and refracted rays are partially polarized.
