How to calculate phase shift upon total internal reflection?

Question

I learned that there is usually a phase shift upon total internal reflection. How to calculate it depending on the refractive index of the dielectrics and angle of incidence? Does the phase shift occur for polarized light?

This question is now fully answered in the Wikipedia article on Total internal reflection, which I have recently rewritten.
