ANSWER

61.21°

EXPLANATION

The refractive index of water is n = 1.33

In this problem the light travels from water to diamond, so we have to find the angle from the vertical form,

[tex]\tan \theta p=\frac{n_{\text{diamond}}}{n_{\text{water}}}[/tex]

Replacing the indices,

[tex]\tan \theta_p=\frac{2.42}{1.33}[/tex]

And solving for θ,

[tex]\theta_p=\tan ^{-1}(\frac{2.42}{1.33})[/tex][tex]\theta_p\approx61.21[/tex]

Brewster's angle is 61.21°
