Light in a vacuum is incident on a transparent glass slab. The angle of incidence is 40.0°. The slab is then immersed in a pool of liquid. When the angle of incidence for the light striking the slab is 24.0°, the angle of refraction for the light entering the slab is the same as when the slab was in a vacuum. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?

Project (2) Read the manual When unpolarized light is incident on the surface of (say) glass at the Brewster angle, the reflected light is polarized with its polarization parallel to the surface of the glass. The Brewster angle is given by Tan(O) = n where n is the refractive index of glass. The material need not be glass; it could be plastic, water etc. (any smooth transparent material is fine). Exercise: (1) The Brewster angle in the experiment is found...

Polarizers can be made based on the principle of Brewster angle. In Fig. 2, a light ray (with 50% s-polarized light and 50% p-polarized light) s incident from material 1 (n! 1.33) on a flat layer of material 2 that has an index of refraction n2-1.5.
