I am very curious as to why dielectrics such as water have a varying level of reflectivity depending on what angle they are viewed at. For a lake of water, what angle yields 100% (or near 100%) reflectivity? Is this angle the same as the Brewster angle?
Also, why exactly is it that metals do not polarize light upon reflection while dielectrics do?
Thank you so much for your enlightenment (bad pun, I know).
