- The angle of incidence at which a beam of un-polarized light falling on a transparent surface is reflected as a beam of completely plane polarised light is called polarising or Brewster angle. It is denoted by ip.
- Brewster's law: It states that when a ray is passed through some transparent medium having refractive index μ at any particular angle of incidence, reflected ray is completely polarized; and the angle between reflected and refracted ray is 900.
μ = tan θB = tan ip
Where μ = refractive index and θB is Brewster's angle or polarizing angle (ip).
Explanation:
- From above it is clear that the Brewster law states the relationship between light waves and polarized light.
- The correct option is μ = tan ip
