The Brewsters angle ibi_b for an interface should be

1

0^{\circ} < ibi_b < 30^{\circ}

2

30^{\circ} < ibi_b < 45^{\circ}

3

45^{\circ} < ibi_b < 90^{\circ}

4

ibi_b = 90^{\circ}

Step-by-Step Solution

μ=tanib\mu = \tan i_b. Since 1<μ<1 < \mu < \infty, then 1<tanib<1 < \tan i_b < \infty, which implies tan1(1)<ib<tan1()\tan^{-1}(1) < i_b < \tan^{-1}(\infty), so 45<ib<9045^{\circ} < i_b < 90^{\circ}.
