Chapter 23, Problem 33P
(a)
To determine
The angle with respect to the horizontal at which the incident light has to be for the reflected light to be totally polarized.
(b)
To determine
The direction in which the reflected light will be polarized.
(c)
To determine
Whether there is any light incident at the angle of incidence transmitted into the water and if so, the angle below the horizontal at which the transmitted light travel.

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
