Required information Some glasses used for viewing 3D movies are polarized, one lens having a vertical transmission axis and the other horizontal. While standing in line on a winter afternoon for a 3D movie and looking through his glasses at the road surface, Maurice notices that the left lens cuts down reflected glare significantly, but the right lens does not. The glare is minimized when the angle between the reflected light and the horizontal direction is 36.9°. What is Brewster's angle for this case?

REFLECTION AND REFRACTION OF LIGHT A ray of light is incident on the surface of a block of clear ice at an angle of 40.0° with the normal. Part of the light is reflected, and part is refracted. Find the angle between the reflected and refracted light assuming the light is coming from air.

Homework After a long day of driving you take a late-night swim in a motel swimming pool. When you go to your room, you realize that you have lost your room key in the pool. You borrow a powerful flashlight and walk around the pool, shining the light into it. The light shines on the key, which is lying on the bottom of the pool, when the flashlight is held 1.2m above the water surface and is directed at the surface a horizontal distance of 1.5m from the edge. If the water here is 4m deep, how far is the key from the edge of the pool? 1.2 m K1.5 m- = 1.33 water 4.0 m
