Homework Statement
The problem about this is, which Fresnel Equation am I supposed to use?
Show that the brewster's angle is
[tex]\tan(\theta)=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}[/tex]
but which Fresnel equation do you use
Problem: Using the correct Fresnel Equation using (plugging in) the transmitted angle [tex]\theta_{2}[/tex]
Homework Equations
I figured, If I know the correct Fresnel equation, I would be able to just set my other angle equal to 90 and then I would be able to just solve for [tex]\theta[/tex] and then it would yield [tex]\tan[/tex] of [tex]\theta_{2}[/tex] using Snell's Formula
show or rather derive the Brewster's angle
