Question

Consider a tank made of glass(refractive index 1.5) with a thick bottom. It is filled with a liquid of refractive index $\mu $. A student finds that, irrespective of what the incident angle i (see figure) is for a beam of light entering the liquid, the light reflected from the liquid glass interface is never completely polarized. For this to happen, the minimum value of $\mu $ is :

$\sqrt {{5 \over 3}} $
${3 \over {\sqrt 5 }}$
${5 \over {\sqrt 3 }}$
${4 \over 3}$
