Calculate Brewster angle for glass

ZedCar

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Glasses have a variety of different refractive indices. Calculate the Brewster angle for a glass with a refractive index of 1.5.

2. Relevant equations

3. The attempt at a solution

tan(θB) = n2/n1
tan(θB) = 1.5/1
θB = 56.31 degrees
