Question
For the liquids in Table $26.1,$ determine the smallest critical angle for light that originates in one of them and travels toward the air-liquid interface.
Step 1
Step 1: Recall the formula for the critical angle: The critical angle (θ_c) is given by the formula: sin(θ_c) = n2/n1, where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two media (n1 > n2). Show more…

For the liquids in Table 26.1, determine the smallest critical angle for light that originates in one of them and travels toward the air–liquid interface.
For light that originates within a liquid and strikes the liquid-air interface, the critical angle is $39^{\circ} .$ What is Brewster's angle for this light?
