Is there an equation that relates the angle of incidence, wavelength, intensity of light reflected, and refracted when incident on a surface. I have a EM wave of wave-length 589 nm traveling through air and strikes water at an angle of 53 degrees from the normal line of surface. Some of the light is reflected and some refracted. What equation will tell me what fraction of light is reflected and what fraction of light is refracted.
Re: What equation relates angle of incidence to % reflected and refracted.
