The Brewster’s angle for an interface should be:
To solve this problem, we need to understand Brewster's angle, which is the angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a surface, with no reflection.The Brewster's angle is given by the formula:where is the refractive index of the first medium and is the refractive index of the second medium.At Brewster's angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. This means:where is the angle of refraction.For most common interfaces, such as air to glass, the refractive index of air is approximately 1, and the refractive index of glass is around 1.5.Using the formula:Solving for Calculating gives approximately Thus, the Brewster's angle for a typical air-glass interface is greater than and less than Therefore, the correct option is:Option 2:
