No reflection and there will be total transmission of light.

Vedclass · Answer

(D) According to Brewster's law,when unpolarized light is incident at Brewster's angle,the reflected light is completely plane-polarized with its electric field vector perpendicular to the plane of incidence.If the incident light is already polarized such that its electric field vectors are completely removed in the plane of incidence (i.e.,the light is polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence),then at Brewster's angle,there is no component of the electric field that can be reflected.Consequently,there is no reflection,and the light is entirely transmitted into the prism.This is a special case of total transmission as discussed in $NCERT$ Physics Part-$2$,Chapter $10$ (Wave Optics).Therefore,option $(D)$ is the correct choice.

Light,whose electric field vectors are completely removed in the plane of incidence by using a good Polaroid,is incident on the surface of a prism at Brewster's angle. Choose the most suitable option for the phenomenon related to the prism.
