The answer is 32.7 deg or 75.6 deg
An unpolarized ray of light in air is incident on a glass block of refractive index 1.4. Using an iterative method, or otherwise, find, to within 2°, an angle of incidence for which the reflected ray is 50% polarized (that is, the total intensity is twice the difference in intensity between the s- and p-polarized light).
