The polarising angle for a transparent medium is $\theta$ and $V$ is the speed of light in that medium. The relation between $\theta$ and $V$ is (where $c$ is the velocity of light in vacuum):

$A$ ray of light is incident on the surface of a glass plate of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$ at the polarising angle. The angle of refraction of the ray is (in $^{\circ}$)

Unpolarised red light is incident on the surface of a lake at an incident angle $\theta_{R}$. An observer seeing the light reflected from the water surface through a polariser notices that on rotating the polariser,the intensity of light drops to zero at a certain orientation. The red light is replaced by unpolarised blue light. The observer sees the same effect with reflected blue light at an incident angle $\theta_{B}$. Then,
