    Somethings to think about for polarization of light

    It is physically challenging to manufacture a waveplate with a thickness precisely corresponding to a path difference of lambda/2. First, estimate the typical thickness (hint: consider the difference in 'n' for the slow and fast axes). Search and learn how manufacturers circumvent this problem.

    Graduate Why does Fresnel's law only use 2 boundary conditions compared to Maxwell's 4?

    dear friend, i thank you a lot..but would you please give me detailed information.. sincerely

    Graduate Why does Fresnel's law only use 2 boundary conditions compared to Maxwell's 4?

    We use only 2 boundary conditions in driving Fresnel's laws, whereas Maxwell's equations provided 4 conditions (2 were identical to other 2). What is the intuitive explanation for this redundancy? which boundary conditions turned out to be equivanlent to each other.

    Graduate Metamaterials with epsilon and/or mu < 0.

    All known natural materials have epsilon and mu > 0. However, there is an intense effort to manufacture so-called metamaterials, where both of these are <0. In such a case, given n = sqrt[epsilon x mu], one would take the negative root and n is still a real number, but n <0 why do we take the...
