Reflection and Transmission of Plane Electromagnetic Waves

Abstract

This chapter examines oblique and normal incident of parallel and perpendicular polarized plane waves on the interface of two dielectrics. The reflected and refracted waves which arise afterward are then analyzed. The author also explains how to determine the phase of two arising waves. The chapter presents oblique and normal incident and reflection of parallel and perpendicular polarized waves on the conducting flat interface and gives distributions of total electric and magnetic fields. Other items explored in this chapter include patterns of EM fields, currents, and charge allocations.
