To Calculate: The Brewster’s angles.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Refractive index of air,
Refractive index of water,
Formula used:
Where,
Calculation:
Substitute the given data into the formula to get the Brewster’s angle, since the light is coming from water to air,
Now, when refraction occur at the critical angle,
According to the question, if light is coming from air to water, so, the Brewster’s angle,
Hence,
Conclusion: The required critical angle and the Brewster’s angle above the surface is
