When light is reflected at Brewster's angle from a smooth surface, it is 100% polarized parallel to the surface. Part of the light will be refracted into the surface, Describe how you would do an experiment to determine the polarization of the refracted light. What direction would you expect the polarization to have and would you expect it to be 100%?
The experiment to determine the polarization of the refracted light and the direction in which
Introduction:
Brewster's angle is the angle of incidence at which the reflected light is completely plane polarized.
The polarization of the refracted light can be determined by measuring the intensity of refracted light from various angles. If the intensity measured from different angles is unequal, the refracted light will be polarized...
