If you rotate the polarization (same materials same angle) you DO get a reflection. #python #physics
Here's a fun #vpython #python #physics animation showing polarization at brewster's angle #physics
Here's a #python animation I made for #electrodynamics

New #electrodynamics #physics video - looking at reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves. Snell's law and Brewster's angle.
