From Brewster's law, except for polished metallic surface, the polarising angle

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Depends on wave length and is different for different colours

Option A is correct because Brewster's angle, which is the polarizing angle, depends on the refractive index of the material, which in turn depends on the wavelength of light, making it different for different colors.
