$A$ camera equipped with a polariser is placed on a mountain to record only the reflected image of the sun from the surface of a sea,as shown in the figure. If the sun rises at $6.00 \, AM$ and sets at $6.00 \, PM$ during the summer,then at what time in the afternoon will the recorded image have the lowest intensity? Assume there are no clouds and the intensity of the sun at the sea surface is constant throughout the day. (Refractive index of water $= 1.33$)

  • A
    $12:32 \, PM$
  • B
    $3:32 \, PM$
  • C
    $5:00 \, PM$
  • D
    $6:00 \, PM$
