Specular reflection of S- and P-polarisation. An unpolarised beam (red) that is specularly reflected from a smooth surface can be considered as a combination of two linearly polarised components. One of these is polarised parallel to the surface (s-polarised: green) and preserves more of its intensity on reflection (green double-headed arrow length) than the component polarised perpendicular to it (purple double-arrow length). The angle α illustrates that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection (grey shaded angle)
