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 :
