I have been reading about Fresnel equations, but I am struggling to find a single experiment where it was experimentally demonstrated that indeed polarised light follows the function predicted by Fresnel when reflected/refracted. Can anyone give some examples of scientific data where this was proven to be correct?

1$\begingroup$ Huh? Measuring the Brewster angle is a standard undergraduate experiment in our labs. $\endgroup$– ProfRobCommented Nov 18, 2021 at 8:18

1$\begingroup$ Snell's Law is also part of the Fresnel equations. $\endgroup$– marchCommented Nov 18, 2021 at 16:40

$\begingroup$ @ProfRob thanks. I should have been clearer, I meant a plot of all traces, especially the result from refraction, not just Brewster's angle $\endgroup$– magnolia1Commented Nov 20, 2021 at 15:37

$\begingroup$ @Farcher thanks. But this is a protocol, I was looking for a result, particularly for the refracted component. any idea on this? $\endgroup$– magnolia1Commented Nov 20, 2021 at 15:37
