In a Nicol prism: a layer of isotropic optic material called
the Canadian balsam is deposited on a calcite crystal. The glass is
supposed to be cut so that it can take advantage of its maximum
birefringence. Calculate for which angle of incidence the ordinary
polarization and the extraordinary polarization are separated by
the effect of the total internal refraction.
