For a particular transparent medium surrounded by air, find the polarizing angle θp in terms of the critical angle for total internal reflection θc.
A ray of light traveling from liquid makes an angle of incidence at the interface of 35º. Its refracted angle in air is found to be 58.1º. What is the critical angle for total internal reflection at this liquid–air interface? Note n(air)=1
A scuba diver is submerged in a pool of liquid having an index of refraction n. He looks up at the sun and measures its angle theta 1 from the vertical. He then rises to the surface and again measures its angle. What value does he get for the following values:   n Theta 1 1.75E+00 2.00E+01
