Question

The polarising angle for glass is 

Solution

Correct option is

Different for different kinds of glass & Different for different colours of light  

 

The polarising angle  is given by   

                       

Since the refractive index μ is different for different kinds of glass (crown glass, flint glass, etc) and for different colours (wavelengths) of light.
