4. Light within medium A reaches a flat interface with medium B, making an angle with the perpendicular, where it is partially reflected and partially transmitted. The transmitted portion of the light then encounters a medium C, whose surface is parallel to the previous interface, and once again the light is partially reflected and partially transmitted. A diagram of the encounters of the light with the two interfaces is shown in the diagram, where the depiction of the magnitudes of the angles is accurate. The angle is gradually increased, and at the same moment that the light reflected at the A/B interface becomes totally horizontally polarized, light stops being transmitted into medium C. If n = 2.00, and nB = 1.60, find nc. 0 NA nB nc
