Red light in vacuum is incident at the polarizing angle on a
certain glass slab, and the angle of
refraction is 31.8o.
As described in the textbook (but not during the lecture) the
polarizing angle of a material, qp, is
the one where if light is incident at that angle, the refracted
light is at right angles to the
incident light. In other words,
qp+ qrefracted= 90o
What are
(a) the index of refraction of the glass
(b) the polarizing angle
(c) The ratio of transmitted to incident Electric fields in the
direction perpendicular to the plane
of incidence?
(d) The ratio of transmitted to incident Electric fields in the
direction parallel to the plane of
incidence?
