Video Transcript

the angle at which the light reflected from diamond completely polarized is certain is sitting that be Brewster angle perfect in its off a diamond divided by refracted looks of air. So substituting the readies we can find it that be rooster ring. So there could be Is it called a ding in worse off. So this will be simply 2.42 This gives us an angle off 67.60 please.
