$A$ ray of light is incident at a polarising angle such that its deviation is $24^{\circ}$. Then the angle of incidence is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ person lives in a high-rise building at a height of $30 \ m$ on the bank of a river. Across the river is a well-lit tower of height $60 \ m$. When the person looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light from the top of the tower reflecting from the river surface,he finds the intensity of light is least. If the refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$,the width of the river is ...... $m$.

$A$ person lives in a high-rise building on the bank of a river $50\, m$ wide. Across the river is a well-lit tower of height $40\, m$. When the person,who is at a height of $10\, m$,looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light of the tower reflecting from the river surface,he notes that the intensity of light coming from a distance $X$ from his building is the least,and this corresponds to the light coming from light bulbs at height $Y$ on the tower. The values of $X$ and $Y$ are respectively close to (refractive index of water $\simeq \frac{4}{3}$)

For a given medium, the polarizing angle is $60^o$. What will be the critical angle for this medium?
