Sheet 1 is placed on top of sheet 2, and a laser beam is directed onto the sheets from above so that it strikes the interface at an angle of 26.6deg with the normal. The refracted beam in sheet 2 makes an angle of 31.4deg with the normal. The experiment is repeated with sheet 3 on top of sheet 2 and, with the same angle of incidence, the refracted beam makes an angle of 36.8deg with the normal. If the experiment is repeated again with sheet 1 on top of sheet 3, what is the expected angle of refraction in sheet 3?

- When a ray of light strikes a nonmetallic surface, some of the light is reflected and some is refracted. Brewster’s angle is the angle of incidence for which the reflected and refracted beams are 90 degrees apart. The significance of this angle is that it leads to a reflected ray which is completely polarized.(a) Sketch the incident, reflected, and refracted rays for a situation involving Brewster’s angle.
