    Q112.
    Ordinary light incident on a glass slab at the polarising angle is refracted in glass and suffers a deviation of \(22\)°. The value of the angle of refraction in glass in this case is
    Q113.
    An unpolarised light of amplitude a is incident on polariser then amplitude of polarised light emerging from polariser is
    Q114.
    A ray of light strikes a glass plate at an angle of \(60\)°. If the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, the index of refraction of glass is
    Q115.
    Two Nicols are oriented with their principal plans making an angle of \(60\)°. Then the percentage of incident unpolarised light which passes through the system is
    Q116.
    A ray of light from a denser medium strikes a rarer medium so that the reflected and refracted rays make an angle of \(90\)° with each other. The angles of reflection and refraction are r and r' respectively. Then critical angle would be:
