Assertion : When light ray is incident at polarizing angle on glass, reflected light is partially polarized.

Reason : The intensity of light decreases in polarization.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

If both Assertion and reason are false

Option D (If both Assertion and reason are false) is correct because when light is incident at the polarizing angle, the reflected light is completely polarized, not partially, and the intensity of light does decrease in polarization.
