Light from air is incident on a puddle of water (n = 1.33) at the Brewster angle

A) What is the angle of reflection from the water’s surface as measured from the normal?

B) What is the angle of refraction into the water as measured from the normal?

C) If the water sits on top of a layer of glycerin (n = 1.47) which sits on top of a sheet of crown glass (n = 1.52) what is the angle of refraction for light propagating into the glass as measured from the normal?
