An unpolarized beam gets 50% reflection at an air-glass interface if the incident angle of the beam is at the Brewster angle.

The intensity of a spherical wave is reduced by two times when measured at 4 m away from the light source compared to that at 2 m.

An evanescent wave exists in the denser medium when total internal reflection occurs.

An unpolarized beam will be completely blocked by a polarizer.
