$A$ solid glass sphere of refractive index $n=\sqrt{3}$ and radius $R$ contains a spherical air cavity of radius $\frac{R}{2}$,as shown in the figure. $A$ very thin glass layer is present at the point $O$ so that the air cavity (refractive index $n=1$) remains inside the glass sphere. An unpolarized,unidirectional and monochromatic light source $S$ emits a light ray from a point inside the glass sphere towards the periphery of the glass sphere. If the light is reflected from the point $O$ and is fully polarized,then the angle of incidence at the inner surface of the glass sphere is $\theta$. The value of $\sin \theta$ is

The refractive index of a material is equal to the tangent of the polarising angle. This is called:
