From The Glossary of Digital Photography

Jump to: navigation, search

Also known as polarization angle. Represents the angle of incidence of light that produces the most polarization of the light. When light strikes a surface, a portion of the light is reflected. This reflected light is polarized by the reflection process. The Brewster's angle is dependent upon the refractive index of the material. See also refraction of light
