Answer to Question #88626 in Electricity and Magnetism for Sridhar

Question

a plane electromagnetic wave is incident on the boundary separating the medium of refractive index n1 and n2 at a brewster angle then
1)reflection coefficient is 1
2) transmission quotient is 0 3)transmission coefficient is 1
4)product of reflection coefficient and transmission question is 1

Answer 1

For a p polarized light beam is purely refracted when falling on the boundary separating the medium at a Brewster angle.

This means its a) reflection coefficient is 1 and b) transmission quotient is 0
