Answer #1
BREWSTER ANGLE: when unpolerized light falls on a surface at the
angle (
) given by
Brewster's equation
(tan= 
; is
refractive index of medium), then reflected ray gets linearly
polerized, transmitted ray never gets complete polerization,
transmitted ray suffers partial polerization.
Thus the right answer is a) part
