 Solution

At an air–glass interface, resolve the incident unpolarized light into components perpendicular ($s$) and parallel ($p$) to the plane of incidence. The Fresnel equations give the parallel reflection coefficientAt Brewster's angle, $r_p=0$. Together with Snell's law, this gives ${\theta }_i+{\theta }_t=\pi /2$ and $\tan {\theta }_i=n_2/n_1$. Thus, taking the incident medium to be air,The remaining reflected component has linear polarization perpendicular to the plane of incidence. This assumes a transparent, nonmagnetic glass with negligible absorption.
