Accepted Answer

Brewster's angle is an angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface, with no reflection.Light slows down as it travels from less dense air to denser glass or water. This deceleration of the light beam also changes the direction of the light beam. It is the change in the speed of light that causes refraction.Moving through transparent materials such as glass or water actually slows you down. As the speed of light slows down, it changes direction. This "refraction" of light is why straws appear to bend and break in the water, and why objects viewed through a glass bottle appear distorted.The light is a glass plate and he refracts twice and goes back into the air. The second time the refracted ray leaves the normal. When light falls vertically, it passes through the glass plate without deflection.Learn more about reflected light here:-https://brainly.com/question/1363382#SPJ4
