Use correct number of significant digits; the tolerance is +/-1 in the 3rd significant digit

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

The refractive index of medium 1 is n₁=1.37.
The refractive index of medium 2 is n₂=2.02

It is known from the Brewster's rule that for a light to be 100 % polarized then it is refracted at an angle 90^o to the refracted light and the angle of incidence $θ$ is given by:

$\tan θ = \frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}$
