Light is incident upon air-water interface (n=1.33). Calculate the Brewster and critical angles for both internal and external reflections. In each case, distinguish between polarization modes. Calculate the reflectance and transmittance of water (as seen from air) for both TE and TM polarizations with the angles of incidence are 0, 45 and 90 degrees. Explain your findings. Calculate the reflectance and transmittance of air(as seen from water for both TE and TM polarizations with the angles of incidence are 0, 45 and 90 degrees. Explain your findings.
