AP Physics 2
14.3 Boundary Behavior of Waves and Polarization
A beam of unpolarized light traveling through air strikes the flat, horizontal surface of a calm lake. The angle of incidence is set to Brewster's angle \(\theta_B\) such that the reflected light is completely linearly polarized. Which of the following correctly identifies the orientation of the electric field oscillations of the reflected light relative to the lake surface and the angle between the reflected ray and the refracted ray?
