Brewster angle 'or' Polarising angle:

The angle of incidence at which a beam of unpolarized light falling on a transparent surface is reflected as a beam of completely plane polarised light is called polarising or Brewster angle.

This relation is known as Brewster law.

  • When unpolarized light is incident on a reflecting surface, the reflected and refracted beams are partially polarized.
  • The reflected beam is completely polarized when the angle of incidence equals the polarizing angle θp, which satisfies the equation \(\frac{{{n_2}}}{{{n_1}}} =\) then θp
  • At this incident angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other.
