Polarization of Light in Reflection
Storyboard

Unpolarized light that strikes a plane is partially polarized.

If the angle of incidence coincides with the so-called Brewster angle, the reflected beam is of polarized light in the direction of the plane of the body in which it is reflected.

La intensidad de la luz polarizada I_0 se reduce en funci n del angulo del filtro de polarizaci n respecto del plano de polarizaci n \phi con la intensidad

$ I = I_0 \cos^2 \phi $

La luz que incide en un angulo \theta_p se refleja en forma polarizada si viaja por un medio de indice de refracci n n_a en contacto con un medio de indice de refracci n n_b seg n la ley de Brewster:

$\tan \theta_p =\displaystyle\frac{ n_r }{ n_i }$
