What will be an ideal response?
In a laboratory experiment, you are given two unknown substances and a laser. One of the substances is a liquid in which you place the laser. The other is a tank made of a transparent solid. You aim the laser downward at the tank bottom – and find that the reflected ray is fully polarized when the angle of incidence is 54o. What is the transmitted angle for the ray transmitted into the tank bottom?
