Question:

Show that the polarization angles for internal and external reflection at a given interface are complementary, that is, θp + θ'p = 90° (see Problem 4.66).

Data from Prob. 4.66

Show that tan θp = nt/ni and calculate the polarization angle for external incidence on a plate of crown glass (ng = 1.52) in air.
