Can polarized light be recovered after passing through multiple mediums?

[QUOTE="nasu, post: 5455739, member: 147320"] Sound going from water to air does not suffer total internal reflection so no evanescent waves. The speed of sound in water is higher than in the air, not the other way (as it is for light). I don't understand your link between evanescent waves and "recovering polarization". An example of "recovering" the evanescent waves may be the technique called TIRF (Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence) where the evanescent waves are used to excite fluorescence of some beads or cells with dyes situated close enough to the interface.
