3. Brewsters law:
According to this law, when unpolarized light is incident at polarizing angle, ip on an interface separating air from a medium of refractive index μ, then the reflected light is fully polarized (perpendicular to the plane of incidence), provided μ = tan ip. This relation represents Brewster's law.
It has been observed experimentally that when light is incident at polarizing angle, the reflected component along OB and refracted component along OC are mutually perpendicular to each other.
Thus, in fig.,
where, r is the angle of refraction.
or
90º - ip = r
According to Snell's law,
This proves Brewster's law.
We can prove that in case of refletion at Brewster's angle, reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular.
According to Brewster's law,
According to Snell's law,
sin r = cos ip = sin (90º - ip)
r = 90º - ip or ip + r = 90º
In fig,
r' = ip
r' + r = 90º
Note: Ask the other questions as a separate separate query.
