AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the polarizing angle and the angle of refraction in glass given that the critical angle for a certain wavelength of light in glass is 30°. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Critical Angle**: The critical angle (IC) is the angle of incidence above which total internal reflection occurs. It is given as 30°. 2. **Finding the Refractive Index (μ)**: ...
