Brewster angle is an important concept in learning optics and electromagnetic wave propagation phenomena. It conveys the emphasis on polarisation of the fields. An intuitive way is presented to derive Brewster angle by connecting impedances and reflection coefficients. The radical polarisation differences emerge clearly from this approach.
