Brewster's angle and the intensity of reflected light

[QUOTE="PainterGuy, post: 6341807, member: 311618"] Thank you. I think that it could be rephrased as follows. At Brewster's angle, all the incident light which has its electric field parallel to the plane of incidence gets refracted, and all the reflected light has its electric field perpendicular to the plane of incidence. The refracted light would consist of both 'types' of light, but at Brewster's angle the portion of light whose electric field is perpendicular to the plane of incidence is at its minimum in the total of refracted light.
