When light is reflected at Brewster’s angle from a smooth surface, it is 100% polarized parallel to the surface. Part of thelight will be refracted into the surface. Describe how you would do an experiment to determine the polarization of the refractedlight. What direction would you expect the polarization to have and would you expect it to be 100% ?
