Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brewster's angle is the angle of incidence at which light is completely polarized upon reflection from a dielectric surface. The critical angle for total internal reflection is the angle of incidence at which light is totally reflected from a dielectric surface. For a given interface, Brewster's angle is always less than the critical angle for total internal reflection.
