Multiple Choice
In a laboratory experiment, a rectangular tank made of a transparent solid is filled with an unknown liquid. A submersible laser is placed in the tank, with the beam directed toward the liquid-solid interface at the bottom. By adjusting the aim of the laser, you find that the reflected ray is fully polarized when the angle of incidence is 54°. What is the angle of refraction of the ray transmitted into the solid tank bottom in this case?
A) 39°
B) 47°
C) can't answer this without knowing the indices of refraction.
D) 36°
