Brewster's Angle

Theory & Logic

Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Brewster's Angle is an essential tool for understanding Brewster's Angle in quantitative terms. Calculate θb = arctan(n2/n1).

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = (Math.atan(n2÷n1) × 180) ÷ π
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
n1 n1 (Original)
n2 n2 (Reflecting)

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • n1 (Original) = 95
  • n2 (Reflecting) = 100

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = (Math.atan(100÷95) × 180) ÷ π
