    Electromagnetic Theory II (EMT II); Online Unit 1. REFLECTION AND TRANSMISSION AT OBLIQUE INCIDENCE (Laws of Reflection and Refraction and Total Internal Reflection) (Introduction to Electrodynamics Chap 9) Instructor: Shah Haidar Khan University of Peshawar. Suppose an incident wave makes an angle θI with the normal to the xy-plane at z=0 (in medium 1) as shown in Figure 1. Suppose the wave splits into parts partially reflecting back in medium 1 and partially transmitting into medium 2 making angles θR and θT, respectively, with the normal. Figure 1. To understand the phenomenon at the boundary at z=0, we should apply the appropriate boundary conditions as discussed in the earlier lectures. Let us first write the equations of the waves in terms of electric and magnetic fields depending upon the wave vector κ and the frequency ω. MEDIUM 1: Where EI and BI is the instantaneous magnitudes of the electric and magnetic vector, respectively, of the incident wave. Other symbols have their usual meanings. For the reflected wave, Similarly, MEDIUM 2: Where ET and BT are the electric and magnetic instantaneous vectors of the transmitted part in medium 2. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS (at z=0) As the free charge on the surface is zero, the perpendicular component of the displacement vector is continuous across the surface.

  • Physics I Notes Chapter 14: Light, Reflection, and Color
    Physics I Notes Chapter 14: Light, Reflection, and Color Characteristics of light • Light is an electromagnetic wave . As shown below, an electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave consisting of mutually perpendicular oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Electromagnetic waves are ultimately produced by an accelerating charge. A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field which in turn produces a changing electric field and so on. Because of this relationship between the changing electric and magnetic fields, an electromagnetic wave is a self- propagating wave that can travel through a vacuum or a material medium since electric and magnetic fields can exist in either one. Animation of e.m. wave with vibrating charge Scroll down after webpage loads for animation. http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=35.0 • All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. Electromagnetic waves are distinguished from each other by their differences in wavelengths and frequencies (wavelength is inversely related to frequency) . c=f λλλ c = speed of light = 3.0 x 10 8 m/s in a vacuum = 300,000 km/s = 186,000 miles/s A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum. So haw many miles would that be? What would a light-minute be? • The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of all electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength. Visible light is only a small portion of the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

Designing a high-resolution lens with diffraction-limited performance over a large field of view remains a difficult task in imaging system design. On the other hand, creating a complex speckle pattern with wavelength-limited spatial features is effortless and can be implemented via a simple random diffuser. With this observation and inspired by the concept of near-field ptychography, we report a new imaging modality, termed near-field Fourier ptychography, for tackling high- resolution imaging challenges in both microscopic and macroscopic imaging settings. The meaning of ‘near-field’ is referred to placing the object at a short defocus distance with a large Fresnel number. In our implementations, we project a speckle pattern with fine spatial features on the object instead of directly resolving the spatial features via a high-resolution lens. We then translate the object (or speckle) to different positions and acquire the corresponding images using a low-resolution lens.

  • Reflection and Refraction of Light
    Reflection and refraction When light hits a surface, one or more of three things may happen. The light may be reflected back from the surface, transmitted through the material (in which case it will deviate from its initial direction, a process known as refraction) or absorbed by the material if it is not transparent at the wavelength of the incident light. 1. Reflection and refraction Reflection and refraction are governed by two very simple laws. We consider a light wave travelling through medium 1 and striking medium 2. We define the angle of incidence θ as the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface (a vector pointing out perpendicular to the surface). For reflection, the reflected ray lies in the plane of incidence, and θ1’ = θ1 For refraction, the refracted ray lies in the plane of incidence, and n1sinθ1 = n2sinθ2 (this expression is called Snell’s law). In the above equations, ni is a dimensionless constant known as the θ1 θ1’ index of refraction or refractive index of medium i. In addition to reflection determining the angle of refraction, n also determines the speed of the light wave in the medium, v = c/n. Just as θ1 is the angle between refraction θ2 the incident ray and the surface normal outside the medium, θ2 is the angle between the transmitted ray and the surface normal inside the medium (i.e. pointing out from the other side of the surface to the original surface normal) 2. Total internal reflection A consequence of Snell’s law is a phenomenon known as total internal reflection.

  • 8 Reflection and Refraction
    Physics 212 Lab Lab 8 Reflection and Refraction What You Need To Know: The Physics Now that you have completed all of the labs dealing with circuits, you will move on to the next area of physics, light and optics. In this lab you will be exploring the first part of optics, the reflection and refraction of light at a plane (flat) surface and a curved surface. NORMAL INCIDENT RAY REFLECTED RAY I R MIRROR FIGURE 1 - Reflection off of a mirror Reflection occurs when an incident ray of light bounces off of a smooth flat surface like a mirror. See Figure 1. Refraction occurs when a ray of light that is traveling in one medium, let’s say air, enters a different medium, let’s say glass, and changes the direction of its path. See Figure 2. In order to describe reflection or refraction at a plane surface you need to measure angles with respect to a common reference line. The reference line that is used is called a normal. A normal is a line that is perpendicular to a surface. In Figure 1 you see a ray of light that is incident on a plane surface. The angle of incidence, I, of a ray of light is defined as the angle between the incident ray and the normal. If the surface is a mirror, then the angle of reflection, R, of a ray of light is defined as the angle between the reflected ray and the normal. In order to describe reflection or refraction at a plane surface you need to measure angles with respect to a common reference line.

  • Chapter 25 the Reflection of Light: Mirrors
    Chapter 25 The Reflection of Light: Mirrors 25.1 Wave Fronts and Rays Defining wave fronts and rays. Consider a sound wave since it is easier to visualize. Shown is a hemispherical view of a sound wave emitted by a pulsating sphere. The rays are perpendicular to the wave fronts (e.g. crests) which are separated from each other by the wavelength of the wave, λ. 25.1 Wave Fronts and Rays The positions of two spherical wave fronts are shown in (a) with their diverging rays. At large distances from the source, the wave fronts become less and less curved and approach the limiting case of a plane wave shown in (b). A plane wave has flat wave fronts and rays parallel to each other. We will consider light waves as plane waves and will represent them by their rays. 25.2 The Reflection of Light LAW OF REFLECTION FROM FLAT MIRRORS. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in the same plane, and the angle of incidence, θi, equals the angle of reflection, θr. θi = θr 25.2 The Reflection of Light In specular reflection, the reflected rays are parallel to each other. In diffuse reflection, light is reflected in random directions.
