In [3]:
#importing module
import math
from __future__ import division

#Variable declaration
myu=1.55                #refractive index of glass

#Calculations
theta_p=math.degrees(math.atan(myu))
theta_r=math.degrees(math.asin(math.sin(math.radians(theta_p))/1.55))
Total=theta_p+theta_r

#Result
print"Angle of polarization= %2.3f degrees" %theta_p
