Consider a tank made of glass (refractive index $1.5$) with a thick bottom. It is filled with a liquid of refractive index $\mu$. $A$ student finds that,irrespective of what the incident angle $i$ (see figure) is for a beam of light entering the liquid,the light reflected from the liquid-glass interface is never completely polarized. For this to happen,the minimum value of $\mu$ is

The angle of incidence at which reflected light is totally polarized for reflection from air to glass (refractive index $n$) is

$A$ ray of light is incident on the surface of a glass plate at an angle of incidence equal to Brewster's angle $\Phi$. If $\mu$ denotes the refractive index of glass with respect to air, then what will be the angle between the reflected and refracted rays?

$A$ beam of light $AO$ is incident on a glass slab $(\mu = 1.54)$ in a direction as shown in the figure. The reflected ray $OB$ is passed through a Nicol prism. On viewing through the rotating Nicol prism,we find that $(\tan 57^{\circ} = 1.54)$.

$A$ 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 ...... $m$.
