A factored form of Fresnel’s equations for arbitrary transparent media is presented. The two factors separately express the scattering pattern of the individual dipoles and the coherent scattering function of the dipole array. The new form facilitates comparison with the scattering interpretation of reflection and refraction. It is used to develop a new scattering model of Brewster’s law.
