About this page. He was awarded all three of the principal medals of the Royal Society for his optical research. B µ á ds = " J á dA + d dt "!E á dA! 13. When light strikes the interface between a medium with refractive index n1 and a second medium with refractive index n2, both reflection and refraction of the light may occur. 2.7.4. These were the Copley medal in 1815, the Rumford medal in 1818, and the Royal medal in 1830. 2E 2!! Download as PDF. Snell’s Law . Die fresnelschen Formeln (nach Augustin Jean Fresnel) beschreiben quantitativ die Reflexion und Transmission einer ebenen, elektromagnetischen Welle an einer ebenen Grenzfläche. If the materials are dielectrics there will be no free charge on the surface (q=0) 4! For a dielectric medium where Snell's Law can be used to relate the incident and transmitted angles, Fresnel's Equations can be stated in terms of the angles of incidence and transmission. B á dA = 0! Fernando Agulló-López, ... Fernando Agulló-Rueda, in Electrooptics, 1994. = ! Fresnel's Equations for Reflection and Transmission Incident, transmitted, and reflected beams Boundary conditions: tangential fields are continuous Gauss’ law can be used to find the boundary conditions on the component of the electric field that is perpendicular to the interface. !E á dA = " q Boundar Fresnel’s law giving the speed of light, at normal incidence, in a medium, in terms of the refractive index, is questioned. 0! sin sin : law of , sin s n re i, it i it t it i t iit t Considering the relation for the incident and transmitted beams kr k r kr kr But the incident and transmitted n beams are in different media nn k k n cc θ θ θ ωω θ= ⋅= ⋅ ⇒ = ==⇒ rrrr fraction. transmittierten Amplitude zu jener der einfallenden Welle.

Boundary conditions apply across the entire, flat interface (z = 0) Incident, reflected and transmitted waves are like . ! q! 2, µ 2. 1, µ 1! !

An alternative formula is proposed in this paper Keywords: Einstein’s velocity addition rule, light, refractive index, speed E á ds = ! Brewster's Law was named after him in 1814 when he made measurements on the angle of maximum polarization using biaxial crystals. Since these are complex ratios, they describe not only the relative amplitude, but phase shifts between the waves. Light Propagation in Anisotropic Media. 1 E 1 !

The Fresnel equations describe the ratios of the reflected and transmitted waves' electric fields to the incident wave's electric field (the waves' magnetic fields can also be related using similar coefficients). Der zunächst berechnete Reflexions- und Transmissionsfaktor ist das Verhältnis der reflektierten bzw.
