A paralIel beam of unpolarized light is incident on a plane glass of refractive index 1.60 at an angle to the normal. If the reflected beam is completely polarized, calculate the angle of incidence of the beam.

Explanation

tan(theta = mu text{(Brewsters law)})

(theta tan^{-1}  = mu = tan{-1} 1.60 = 58^o)
