    Solving Transfer Matrix for Total Internal Reflection

    Hello, I am trying to write the transfer matrix for surface with an s-polarized em wave incident on it. I want to look at the case of total internal reflection- but I don't know if it makes any sense to look at the transfer matrix in that case, since there is no transfer across the boundary...

    Determine the change in internal energy of boiling water

    Determine the change in internal energy of 1 kg of water at 100 degrees C when it is fully boiled. Once boiled this volume of water changes to 1671 Liters of steam at 100 degrees C Assume the pressure remains constantat 1 atm things i know 1 L =1E-3 m3 1atm = 1.013E5 N/m2 1 L = 1000 cm3 =...

    Total internal reflection problem.

    If anyone could provide some insight into how I might go about solving this problem it would be greatly appreciated. Q: A ray enters the flat end of a long rectanglular block of glass that has refractive index n_2 as shown in the following figure. Show that all the entering rays can be...

    How Does Light Behave at the Critical Angle in an Optical Fiber?

    The drawing shows an optical fiber that consists of a core made of flint glass (nflint = 1.667) surrounded by a cladding made of crown glass (ncrown = 1.523). A beam of light enters the fiber from air at an angle q 1 with respect to the normal. What is q 1 if the light strikes the core-cladding...

    Glass is a solid material with an amorphous internal structure.

    "glass" is a solid material with an amorphous internal structure. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/14apr_zeroglass.htm So does it imply that if I have 1kg egg shell, and I heat it to 2000 F and cool it immediately before the atoms arrange themselves regularly again, then I can...
