To solve the problem, we need to understand the concept of the polarizing angle and the behavior of light at this angle when it strikes a transparent medium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Polarizing Angle**: The polarizing angle (also known as Brewster's angle) is the angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface, with no reflection. This angle can be calculated using Brewster's Law, which states: \[ \tan(\theta_p) = \frac{n_2}{n_1} ...
