*Brewster' Law:** It states that when light is incident at polarising angle at the interface of a refracting medium, the refractive index of the medium is equal to the tangent of the polarising angle.

μ = tan P, μ = refractive index

P: polarising angle.

As Brewster angle depends on the refractive index and wavelength, so it is different for different colours.
