Unpolarised light is incident on the boundary between two dielectric media,whose dielectric constants are $2.8$ (medium $1$) and $6.8$ (medium $2$),respectively. To satisfy the condition that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other,the angle of incidence should be $\tan ^{-1}\left(1+\frac{10}{\theta}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$. The value of $\theta$ is $.............$ (Given for dielectric media,$\mu_{r}=1$)

The refractive index of a medium is equal to the tangent of the polarizing angle. This is known as:

Can reflection result in plane polarised light if the light is incident on the interface from the side with higher refractive index?

The polarising angle for water is $53^\circ 4'$. If light is incident at this angle on the surface of water and reflected, the angle of refraction is:

At what angle should an unpolarised beam be incident on a crystal of $\mu = \sqrt{3}$,so that the reflected beam is polarised (in $^{\circ}$)?
