About Brewster's Angle

When unpolarized light strikes a surface at Brewster's angle (θB), the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, and the reflected light becomes perfectly polarized.

tan(θB) = μ

Where μ is the refractive index of the medium relative to air.

Current Brewster's angle: 56.31°
