A point source of light S is placed at the bottom of a vessel containg a liquid of refractive index 5//3. A person is viewing the source from above the surface. There is an opaque disc of radius 1 cm floating on the surface. The centre of the disc lies vertically above the source S. The liquid from the vessel is gradually drained out through a tap. What is the maximum height of the liquid for which the source cannot at all be seen from above?

Consider a tank made of glass (refractive index 1.5) with a thick bottom. It is filled with a liquid of refractive index mu . A student finds that, irrespective of what the incident angle I (see figure) is for a beam of light entering the liquid, the light reflected from the liquid glass interface is never completely polarized. For this to happen, the minimum value of mu is :
