Brewster’s Angle

Add To Your Report

  1. Fit your polarization vs Receiver angle data using a cosine function (note that you will almost certainly need to use Python and have a very good estimate of your initial conditions). Comment on the quality of the fit. Based on the quality of your fit, are you justified in the assumption of a cosine function?
  2. From your Brewster’s angle measurements, determine the index of refraction of polyethylene.  Compare to the accepted value (this should feel a lot like the Brewster’s angle comparison).
