Extended Essay in Physics

IB Diploma research

My Extended Essay asks how the angle of incidence affects the polarisation of light reflected from glass, and how accurately Brewster's angle can determine the glass's refractive index. Starting from why polarised sunglasses cut glare off glass and wet roads, I measured reflected laser intensity in both polarisation directions to locate Brewster's angle and used it to calculate the refractive index.
