AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between angles When light is incident at the polarizing angle (also known as Brewster's angle), the angle of reflection (R) and the polarizing angle (P) satisfy the equation: \[ R + P = 90^\circ \] ### Step 2: Calculate the polarizing angle Given that the angle of reflection \( R \) is \( 32^\circ \): ...
