Brewster's Angle: When unpolarized light from air (with refractive index 1.00) strikes a piece of glass with index of refraction 1.80, the reflected light is found to be completely polarized when the angle of incidence is equal to Brewster's angle. What is the angle of refraction in this case?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
