Brewster's law:
When an unpolarized light is incident on a glass plate at Brewster angle, the reflected ray becomes plane polarized and the refracted ray is partially polarized also the reflected and refracted ray are mutually perpendicular.

Also, =tanip Where, μ=refractive index of medium ip= Brewster angle.

Relflected and refracted are always perpendicular to each other.
