I've been playing around with parabolic mirror calculations in my free time, and right now I'm trying to derive the equation for the line that models the angle of reflection off of a point. I understand how to find the angle of incidence and that the reflection will have the same angle off the...
The index of refraction of ice is 1.79. Light is reflected from a smooth ice surface, and the reflected ray is completely polarized. Determine the angle of incidence. Answer in units of degrees.
Can anyone help me with a formula to set this one up? I'm confused on where to start.
