As the sun rises over a still pond, an angle will be reached where its image is seen on the water's surface (n w =1.333)

As the sun rises over a still pond, an angle will be reached where its image is seen on the water's surface (n w =1.333) will be completely polarized in a plane parallel to the surface 


(A) Compute the appropriate incident angle (that is the polarization angle or Brewster's angle) 


(B) At what angle (from the normal) will the transmitted beam propagate through the water(that is, what is the angle of refraction) 


(C) What is the angle between the reflected and refracted beams
