An unpolarized light is incident on the plane interface of air-dielectric medium shown in figure. If the incident angle is equal to Brewster angle, identify the expression representing reflected wave.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Is the light is propagating along the positive z -axis and its is reflected from plane then correct phase for reflected light is 
and for electric field as the light incident on Brewster angle so the reflected light should be perfectly plane polarized that's why polarization direction should be y -axis so electric field of reflected light contain no zcomponent.
