Reflection and Refraction Flashcards
1
Q
Explain the Brewster angle and how to find it
A
The angle for an incident wave to make with an electromagnetic interface such that none of the wave is reflected, it is only absorbed/transmitted.
2
Q
What three variables are the transmission and reflection coefficients dependent on?
A
R_||, R_T, T_||, T_T can all be calculated from the impedances of the two media and the angle of incidence.

Q
Draw the diagram for a wave incident at a boundary with angle theta_i. E-field is parallel to the surface of the object where the boundary is
