1. R, T for complex index
When k is complex: metals and absorbing dielectrics. A
k still determines decay of wave
Meaning of complex r and t?

2. Brewster’s angle
Occurs only for ___ polarization A

3. Brewster’s angle
Occurs when reflected and transmitted rays are _____, but only for ___ polarization
p-polarization:
s-polarization: A
Dipole radiation interpretation of why R0

4. Sunlight is essentially unpolarized.
Why are the best sunglasses polarized?
P1. What direction do you want to orient the transmitting axis of the polarizer in your sunglasses to let through only the polarization that reflects the least from the water?
Horizontal
Vertical

5. Apparent vs true depth

7. Waves at an Interface, (Quicktime format 02:46)
P- and S-Polarized Reflection and Transmission (Quicktime format 01:21)

8. Glass to air interface (internal reflection)
Fresnel’s coefficients:
Total internal reflection A
Notice internal Brewster’s angle is the ______________ of the external one.

9. Phase of reflected E-fields come from sign of r
P2. Check Phy123 rule: “180 degree reflection phase change occurs______”
a) going from high to low index at all angles
b) going from low to high index at all angles
c) rule changes at Brewster’s angle for one polarization
d) rule changes at Brewster’s angle for both polarizations Rp Rs rs rp

10. 100% reflectors without metal
And they reflect back to the light source!

13. Can you do anything from the outside to destroy the TIR?

14. Total internal reflection
Derivation from Snell’s law:
Above this angle, A

15. Simple way to think about complex functions
(probably doesn’t help much in using them) A
In TIR the wave decays not from ik, but from i
Photon picture of TIR

16. Photon picture
Suppose we have a laser beam entering a piece of glass at normal incidence. Assume it’s anti-reflection coated so we can ignore reflection.
In the glass the photons move slower.
The energy density u is ____ than in air.
larger
smaller
the same
