For a given medium, the polarizing angle is $60^o$. What will be the critical angle for this medium?

Can reflection result in plane polarised light if the light is incident on the interface from the side with higher refractive index?

The polarising angle of a transparent medium is $\theta$. Let the speed of light in the medium be $v$. Then the relation between $\theta$ and $v$ is [where $c$ is the velocity of light in air].

$A$ beam of light $AO$ is incident on a glass slab $(\mu = 1.54)$ in a direction as shown in the figure. The reflected ray $OB$ is passed through a Nicol prism. On viewing through the rotating Nicol prism,we find that $(\tan 57^{\circ} = 1.54)$.
