To find the angle of refraction in glass when a ray of ordinary light is incident at the polarizing angle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the angles The angle of polarization (denoted as \( \theta_p \)) is given as \( 56^\circ \). According to the laws of reflection and refraction, we have: \[ \theta_p + \theta_r = 90^\circ \] ...
