Question

What is polarisation of light? Explain polarisation of light by reflection with the suitable diagram and hence derive Brewster's law.

Answer 1

Polarization : A light wave that is vibrating in more than one plane is referred to as unpolarized light.

Polarized light waves are light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane.

The process of tiantforming unpolarized light into polarized light is known as polarization.

It state that the tangent of the polarization angle of incidence of a transparent medium is equal to the refractive index of the medium.
