Light is reflected from a glass coffee table. When the angle of incidence is 60.2⁰, the reflected light is completely polarized parallel to the surface of the glass. What is the index of refraction of the glass?

Calculate the ratio of the critical angle of diamond to the critical angle of crown glass if both are surrounded by a vacuum.

A ray of light impinges from air onto a block of ice (n = 1.309) at a 50.0⁰ angle of incidence. Assuming that this angle remains the same, find the radio of the angles of refraction (Ѳ_{2, ice} = Ѳ_{2, water}) when the ice turns to water (n = 1.333).

The speed of light in a certain substance is only 92% of what it would be in a vacuum. What is the index of refraction of this substance?
