59.0^@, rounded to one decimal place.

Explanation:

If theta_i is polarizing angle and theta_c is critical angle for a medium, taking other medium as air for which refractive index=1, then the two are related via expression
tantheta i=1/sintheta_c ...........(1)
=>theta_i=tan^-1(1/sintheta_c)
Inserting given values we get
theta_i=tan^-1(1/0.6)
theta_i=59.0^@, rounded to one decimal place.
