Dear student
 
Brewster's law states that relationship for light waves stating that the maximum polarization  of a ray of light may be achieved by letting the ray fall on a surface of a transparent medium in such a way that the refracted ray makes an angle of 90° with the reflected ray.
Theta = tan^-1 (sqrt3)
 
Theta = 60 degree
