When electromagnetic radiation falls on a surface, then the angle between reflected light and refracted light is 90° at an angle, called?
Answer: Brewster’s angle
Explanation
Brewster’s angle is the angle of incidence at which light with a particular polarization is perfectly transmitted through a surface with no reflection.
At this angle, the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular (90° apart).
