To solve the problem, we need to analyze the behavior of light when it is incident on a transparent dielectric at the Brewster angle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Brewster's Angle**: Brewster's angle (θp) is defined as the angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a transparent dielectric surface, with no reflection. At this angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. The relationship is given by: \[ \tan(\theta_p) = n ...
