Answer: 53°.
- A 53°
- B 37°
- C 45°
- D 60°
Correct answer: A. 53°
Explanation: tan(θ_B) = n = 1.33 → θ_B = arctan(1.33) ≈ 53°. Note that θ_B + θ_r = 90° at Brewster angle.
Two coherent slits S₁ and S₂ act as secondary sources; at each point on the screen, the path difference between light from S₁ and S₂ determines whether the waves arrive in phase (bright fringe) or out of phase (dark fringe), producing the characteristic alternating fringe pattern.
