when unpolarised light is incident on trasparent surface,at a particular angle of incidence called Brewster angle ip, the reflected light wave is totally polarised and is perpendicular to refracted light wave.
“ the tangent of the angle of polarisation is numerically equal to refractive index of reflecting medium”

a statement in optics: when unpolarized light of given wavelength is incident upon the surface of a transparent substance it experiences maximum plane polarization at the angle of incidence whose tangent is the refractive index of the substance for that wave length
