define brewster law and brewster's angle ?
Answers
Answer:
Brewster law is a relationship for light waves stating that the maximum palorization of a ray of light may be achieved by letting the ray fall on the surface of a transparent medium in such a way that the refracted ray makes an angle of 90* with the reflected ray
Answer:
: a statement in optics: when unpolarized light of given wavelength is incident upon the surface of a transparent substance it experiences maximum plane polarization at the angle of incidence whose tangent is the refractive index of the substance for that wave length
Brewster's angle (also known as the polarization angle) is an angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface, with no reflection. When unpolarized light is incident at this angle, the light that is reflected from the surface is therefore perfectly polarized. This special angle of incidence is named after the Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster
