		An angle of incidence is the angle between a beam incident on a surface and the normal (line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence).
		Beer-Lambert law -- binoculars -- birefringence -- fl body radiation -- Brewster's angle -- brightness temperature -- Brillouin scattering In optics, the Beer-Lambert law, also known as Beers law or the Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law is an empirical relationship in relating the absorption of light to the properties of the material the light is travelling through.
		The larger the angle to the normal, the smaller is the fraction of light transmitted, until the angle when total internal reflection occurs.

		In 1815 David Brewster, from his experiments, found that the amount of polarization depends on the angle of incidence and that there is an angle, now known as Brewsters angle, for which the reflected light is polarized the maximum.
		Brewster angle can be found using the equation, EMBED Equation.3 From the equation it is evident that the Brewster angle depends on the refractive indices of the media on either side of the interface.
		Determine the angle of refraction (the angle between the normal to the refracting surface and the refracted beam).

		Since the master plateholder and ground glass were recorded at the 45-degree angle, this blurring is enhanced even further due to the angled nature of their reconstruction.

		(The angle of incidence is measured from the normal or perpendicular to the surface.) The case of light traveling from glass to air is quite different.
		Brewsters angle i (angle of incidence) is given by tan i = n (index of refraction).
		So you measure angles from the normal to the surface of the lens at the point that the light ray intersects the surface of the lens.

		Finally we studied the Brewster's angle of a glass block by measuring the blocks ability to eliminate one directional component of a incident laser beam.
		First the block was adjusted so as to retro-reflect the beam back into the laser, this angle on the scale was recorded as the bas angle, then the angle of the table and the orientation of the polarizer were simultaneously adjusted until the intensity of the reflected beam achieved a minimum as judged visually.
		The adjusted angle at which the intensity of the light was minimized was found to 304° +/- 2°, where the 2° arrises from the serious difficulty of determining when everything is positioned perfectly.

	Brewsters angle
		Optical phenomenon discovered by Sir David Brewster (1781-1868), Scottish physicist.
		When light moves between two media of differing refractive index, light which is p-polarised with respect to the interface will not be reflected from the interface at one particular incident angle, known as Brewster's angle.
		Note that, since all p-polarised light is refracted, any light reflected from the interface at this angle must be s-polarised.

		An important property of reflected polarized light is that the degree of polarization is dependent upon the incident angle of the light, with the increasing amounts of polarization being observed for decreasing incident angles.
		The principle behind Brewster's angle is illustrated Figure 1 for a single ray of light reflecting from the flat surface of a transparent medium having a higher refractive index than air.
		Light reflected from a highway surface at the Brewster angle is often annoying and is often termed glare and can be demonstrated quite easily by viewing the distant part of a highway or the surface of a swimming pool on a hot, sunny day.

		The phenomenon of light being polarized by reflection from a surface at a particular angle was first observed by Etienne-Louis Malus in 1808.
		He attempted to relate the polarizing angle to the refractive index of the material, but was frustrated by the inconsistent quality of glasses available at that time.

	Frequently asked questions about polarizers and UV/Skylight filters
		The idea is to use a linear polarizer up front to get rid of some linearly polarized light you don't want (glare off shiny surfaces, for example, will have a large linearly polarized component), and then it "stirs up" the result so you don't have linearly polarized light bouncing around in the camera.

		There is a phase reversal on reflection with H pol but not with V pol at angles greater than Brewster's angle so the Fresnel ellipse is different.
		The reflection coefficient for H pol is very nearly unity at all angles and virtually all ground conditions, so the likelihood of getting complete cancellation is high.
		For V pol with reflection angles greater than Brewsters angle (maybe 5° for your swampy terrain) the reflection coefficient is somewhere between 0.4 and 0.7, so total cancellation is less likely.
