Numericals in Polarisation

The document presents a series of numerical problems related to polarization, including calculations for refractive indices, polarizing angles, and specific rotations. It also discusses the polarization of different types of waves and the properties of optical materials like water and calcite. The problems require applying concepts of optics and polarization to derive various physical quantities.
