Solution

Polarization : A light wave that is vibrating in more than one plane is referred to as unpolarized light.
Polarized light waves are light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane.
The process of tiantforming unpolarized light into polarized light is known as polarization.
REF.Image
It state that the tangent of the polarization angle of incidence of a transparent medium is equal to the refractive index of the medium.
