Question:
(a) At what angle will light traveling in air be completely polarized horizontally when reflected from water?
(b) From glass?
Strategy
All we need to solve these problems are the indices of refraction. Air has n1 = 1.00, water has n2 = 1.333, and crown glass has n′2 = 1.520. The equation tan θb= n2/n1 can be directly applied to find θb in each case.
