THE PRACTICE STUDIO
Go slowly. Ask why. Make it yours.
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.
