Question
The angle of incidence of a light beam in air onto a reflecting surface is continuously variable. The reflected ray is found to be completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 64.2° .What is the index of refraction of the reflecting material?

Answer:
n = 2.0686
Explanation:
When an unpolarized ray of light is reflected on a surface, the reflected ray is partially polarized, complete polarization occurs when it is true that between the transmitted and reflected ray one has 90, the relationship is
n = so tea
let’s calculate
n = tan 64.2
n = 2.0686
