Abstract
The second Brewster angle ϕB2, at which the ratio ℛp/ℛs of intensity reflectances ℛp and ℛs for the parallel (p) and the perpendicular (s) polarizations of a dielectric–conductor interface reaches a minimum, is determined by , where ∊ is the complex ratio of dielectric constants of the media of refraction and incidence, = ∊/(∊ + 1), and u = sin2ϕB2. An equivalent quartic equation in u is also derived that can be solved exactly and explicitly to determine ϕB2 in terms of ∊.
