PRACTICE / Brewster’s law

Use the index ratio at the interface

Light travels from a medium of refractive index 1.00 into a transparent dielectric of refractive index √3.

Find the Brewster incidence angle measured from the normal.

Organize the givens & assumptions
  • n₁ = 1.00
  • n₂ = √3

Planar interface, nonmagnetic isotropic lossless media and the ideal Brewster condition.
