Wave Optics · Diffraction and polarisation
An unpolarised light is incident at an interface of two dielectric media having refractive indices of 2 (incident medium) and (medium) respectively. To satisfy the condition that reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other, the angle of incidence is .
