Homework Statement
Write down the relationship between the linear frequency and the wavelength of a light wave when the wave is propagating in a medium of refractive index, n.[/B]Homework Equations
wavelength x linear frequency = speed of light
speed of light = refractive index x speed of...
1. Light is incident normally from air onto the surface of water whose refractive index is 1.334 2 nH O = . Assuming zero absorption of the light what is the percentage of incident power that is transmitted into the water?2. Amplitude transmission coefficient (t=2ns/ns+nu) and Amplitude...
I'm trying to derive the law of reflection for Electromagnetic Waves and Optics. I'm using some lecture notes that my university provided. I'm confused as to why the two sine functions are changed to cosine functions as you don't do the same when you are deriving Snell's law.

Homework Statement
I'm stuck on question A4 that is linked below. University won't provide me with any solutions. I have a TKP resit exam next month.
Homework Equations
dU=dQ-PdV
The Attempt at a Solution
Internal energy is equal to heat flow plus the work done. Work done is 0 because it's...
