Find the angle between reflected and refracted beams

Reference no: EM13296779

As the sun rises over a still pond, an angle will be reached where its image seen on the water's surface (n(subw)=1.333) will be completely polarized in a plane parallel to the surface.

(A) compute the appropriate incident angle (that is the polarization angle or Brewster's angle) ?

(B) At what angle (from the normal) will the transmitted beam propagate through the water(that is, what is the angle of refraction)?
