Question

You shine a beam of polarized light in air on a piece of dense flint glass 1n = 1.662. (a) If the polarization direction is perpendicular to the plane of incidence, is there an angle of incidence for which no light is reflected from the glass? If so, what is this angle? (b) Repeat part (a) if the polarization direction is in the plane of incidence.
