"Light traveling in a medium with a refractive index 1.11 is incident on a plate of another medium with index of refraction 1.66. At what angle of incidence is the reflected light fully polarized?"

Respuesta :

Answer:

56°

Explanation:

Brewsters angle can be simply derived from

n1sin theta1= n2sintheta2= n2costheta1

because the reflected light will be 100% polarized if it is reflected at an angle 90o to the refracted light. Hence, Brewsters angle is

Tan theta= n2/n1

1.66/1.11= 1.495

Theta = 56°
