The solar glare of sunlight bouncing off water or snow can be a real problem for drivers. The reflecting sunlight is horizontally polarized, meaning that the light waves oscillate at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to a vertical line. At what angle relative to this vertical line should transmission axis of polarized sunglasses be oriented, if they are to be effective against solar glare? Can someone explain this please? Thanks!

You are looking at the surface of a pond. A sun ray (angle of incidence 50 degrees with respect to the normal) illuminates a fish 30 centimeters below the surface of the water. Your eye judges the fish to be 5 meters horizontally away from you. How far away from you horizontally is the fish actually?

a thin layer of oil (n = 1.38) on the ocean surface for thousands of miles. As an inspector, you are flying over the ocean surface in an aircraft, looking at a section of option where the oil thickness is 563 nanometers thick. You look straight down at the ocean, at a time of day when the sun is directly above you. a) So, if constructive interference occurs (i.e. where the reflection is brightest) what is the wavelength(s) of visible...
