Polarization angle between two media.
Category: Photonics
Formula: θB = atan(n₂/n₁)
Inputs
| Input | Parameter | Unit | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| n₁ | n1 | 1 | |
| n₂ | n2 | 1.5 |
Result with the default inputs
- Brewster angle: 56.3099 °
Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/brewsters-angle?n1=1. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
