Polarization by reflection
![Page 8: Polarization. Describe what is meant by polarized light. Describe polarization by reflection. State and apply Brewster ’ s law. Explain the terms polarizer](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051017/56649d985503460f94a820b2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Brewster angle
• In 1812, Sir David Brewster found experimentally that the reflected ray is 100% polarized when the angle between the reflected ray and the refracted ray is 90°

Brewster’s angle tanθB = n2/n1
If ray is incident from air, n1 = 1, so tanθB = n2

Polarizers and analysers
• A polarizer (like polaroid) can be used to polarize light
![Page 14: Polarization. Describe what is meant by polarized light. Describe polarization by reflection. State and apply Brewster ’ s law. Explain the terms polarizer](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051017/56649d985503460f94a820b2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Polarizers and analysers
• A polarizer can also be used to determine if light is polarized. It is then called an analyser.

Malus’ Law
• The intensity of polarised light that passes through a polarizer is proportional to the square of the cosine of the angle between the electric field of the polarized light and the angle of the polarizer!

Optical activity
• Some substances can change the plane of polarized light. We say they are optically active

Optical activity
Sugar solution is optically active. The amount of rotation of the plane of polarization depends on the concentration of the solution.

Stress analysis

Stress analysis
Some substances, not normally optically active, become optically active if subject to stresses.

Analysis of the patterns reveals how the stress varies in the material.
