    Deriving the Fresnel Equations for E Field in Plane of Incidence

    I am trying to derive the Fresnel equations for the E field perpendicular to the plane of incidence. There is one transformation, I assume involves some general math, that I am having a mental blank on. It can be found here http://physics.tamuk.edu/~suson/html/4323/prop-em.html if you...

    What are the Fresnel formulas for magnetic permeability not equal to 1?

    Derive Fresnel Formulas for the case when magnetic permeability (myu) is not 1. How will they look like? In most cases myu=1, so the Snells formula becames easy , and after it we get Fresnel Formulas, with the help of Snell Formula.What will be when myu is not 1?

    How Is the Fresnel Double Prism Equation Derived?

    Hi, i need to deduce the Fresnel Double Prism equation, which states: d = 2a(n-1)alpha, according to the linked image. http://www.du.edu/~jcalvert/waves/biprism.gif The distance between the constructed virtual objects S' and S'' is here called d. The distance from the light source to...

    Fresnel Biprism Equation Derviation-

    Fresnel Biprism Equation Derviation- please help! I recently did the Fresnel Biprism Experiment in order to calculate the wavelength of sodium light. As part of my write up I am to show the derviation of the formula d = (d1 * d2)^1/2 where d = actual separation of the virtual slits. Basically I...

    Fresnel Equations Boundary Conditions

    I'm having trouble with the meaning of the boundary condition in the derivation of fresnels quations, namely that the component of E tangental to the surface is continuous across the boundary. My trouble is, what physically does this corresspond to. Is it something to do with the divergence...
