A 1.00-cm-thick by 4.00-cm-long glass plate is made up of two fused prisms. The top prism has an index of refraction of 1.486 and the bottom has an index of refraction of 1.878. A light ray is incident on the top face as shown in the figure to the right. The reflected ray A is completely linearly polarized. Determine the exit angle of this ray that pass through the prisms.
In the figure, a light ray in air is incident on a flat layer of material 2 that has an index of refraction n₂ = 2.7. Beneath material 2 is
material 3 with an index of refraction n3. The ray is incident on the air-material 2 interface at the Brewster angle for that interface. The
ray of light refracted into material 3 happens to be incident on the material 2-material 3 interface at the Brewster angle for that
interface. What is the value of n3?
