Normal incidence – propagating
waves
So far, we have considered plane waves in an infinite homogeneous medium. A
natural question would arise: what happens if a plane wave hits some object?
Such object can be either dielectric or conductor.
To answer this question, we need to use boundary conditions. We study first
normal incidence on the boundary.
We assume that a plane wave is
generated in the region z < 0 in a
lossless material with dielectric
constant 1 and that a second lossless
material is in the region z  0 with a
dielectric constant 2. The
permeabilities of both materials are 0.
A portion of the wave is transmitted to
the medium 2, another portion is
reflected back to medium 1.

Normal incidence – propagating
waves
The direction of wave’s propagation can be defined using a right hand rule. This
suggests that the polarization of the reflected field has to be altered after the
incident wave strikes the interface. We assume that the electric component is
unchanged, and the magnetic field will change its direction.

Therefore: Incident wave:

Reflected wave:

(8.3.2)
Transmitted wave:
Ey ,t ( z, t )  At e j t k2 z 
(8.3.3)
Here, k1 and k2 are the wave numbers for the regions (media) 1 and 2
respectively, constants A and B indicate the terms propagating in the +z and –z
directions.
Since the materials are assumed as lossless, the waves will not attenuate (i.e.
 = 0,  = k). The magnetic field intensities can be found from the Maxwell’s
equations or by using the characteristic impedances for two regions.

From the boundary conditions, the tangential components of the electric field must
be continuous and the tangential components of the magnetic field intensity must
differ by any surface current that is located at the interface. Usually, we assume
that there are no surface currents, which implies that the tangential components of
the magnetic field intensity are also continuous at the interface.
Also, since we chose the interface between two media to be at z = 0, the exponent
will be

Therefore, at the boundary z = 0, we can write:
Ey ,i ( z  0, t )  Ey ,r ( z  0, t )  E y ,t ( z  0, t )
(8.5.1)
H x,i ( z  0, t )  H x,r ( z  0, t )  H x,t ( z  0, t )

Knowing the characteristic impedances of the materials allows us to determine
the propagation characteristics and amplitudes of both waves: transmitted to the
second medium and reflected back. If the characteristic impedances on both
sides are equal, all energy is transmitted into region 2 and none is reflected
back. This is called matching the media (lenses, glasses etc.).

The wave incident to the boundary with
the second medium is partially
reflected back and partially transmitted
to medium 2. At the interface between
materials 2 and 3, the transmitted to
material 2 field is partially reflected
back and partially transmitted to the
material 3, etc.

The phase of individual terms in
summations is different: an additional
phase difference of k2d appears after
each crossing the slab.
We assume next that the reflection coefficient from the first interface is 1 in the
+z direction and -1 in the –z direction. Since the medium 3 is identical to medium
1, 2 = -1, and -2 = 1. Similarly, the transmission coefficient through the first
interface will be 1+ = 1 + 1 in the +z direction and 1- = 1 - 1 in the -z direction.

If the material 2 is a good conductor, the characteristic impedance will be very
small and it would approach zero as the conductivity approaches infinity.
Therefore, it will be NO transmission of EM energy into the conductor, it all will
be reflected. In this case:
  0 Polarization change
  1
Considering the most general solution
(7.12.3) of the wave equation and a
traveling pulse instead of a time-harmonic
wave, we may assume that a virtual pulse
with a negative amplitude was launched
at z = + in the –z direction
simultaneously with the real pulse. Both
pulses meet at z = 0 at the time t = t + 3t
after that moment, they keep propagating
but the virtual pulse becomes real and
the real one becomes virtual.

At the interface, the amplitudes of both pulses add up to equal zero in order to
satisfy the requirement that the tangential component of the electric field must
be zero at a perfect conductor.

Example 7.2: Pulse radars can be used to determine the velocity of cars. Show
how such radars could work.
A repetitive EM pulse from the
radar is incident on the car.
Because of the high conductivity of
the car, the pulse is reflected back
to the radar where the total time of
travel t for the given pulse can be
estimated. The pulse repetition
time (the time between two

When a plane EM wave incident at an oblique
angle on a dielectric interface, there are two cases
to be considered: incident electric field has
polarization parallel to the plane of incidence, and
incident electric field has polarization that is
perpendicular to the plane of incidence.
1. Parallel polarization:
The incident, reflected, and transmitted electric field
vectors lie in the plane of incidence: the x-z plane.
Note: the angles are measured with respect to normal.

Brewster’s angle, or polarizing angle, i = B, for which the reflection
coefficient is zero:  = 0.

Let us denote:

(8.27.1)
In both cases of parallel and perpendicular polarization, the
reflection coefficient will be:

  j
  j
(8.27.2)
Here, both  and  are real. As a consequence, the magnitude of the reflection
coefficient || = 1, and all incident power is reflected off the interface.
As a result, for instance for the perpendicular polarization, the transmitted
electric field is:
Et  TE0u y e z e jk2 x sini

If the incidence angle exceeds the critical angle, the field in region 2 propagates
in the x direction but rapidly exponentially decays in the z direction – away from
the interface. This is a surface wave.

Fabry-Perot resonator – standing
waves
Examination of a standing wave suggests that it should be possible to insert
another conductor (a conductive wall) at any of the nodes where the tangential
electric field is zero without changing a structure of electric field!
The applicable boundary condition, therefore, is that the tangential electric field
must be zero at a conductive surface.
Let us assume that the plates were
inserted instantaneously and the EM
energy was “trapped” between the
plates.

Fabry-Perot resonator – standing
waves
The structure consisting of a parallel plate cavity is called a Fabry-Perot
resonator. If the frequency of a wave “matches” the dimensions of the
resonator (a resonant frequency) – the length of cavity equals an integer
number of half-wavelengths – a standing wave will be formed. All other
frequency components will be canceled out by a destructive
interference.
The Q-factor (2 ratio of stored energy to
the power dissipated per cycle) of this
resonator may be very high (approaches
a million).
Fabry-Perot resonators are widely used
in EM and optics: a He-Ne laser is
basically a Fabry-Perot resonator.

Considering two resonators of the same length L but one of the filled with air
(left) and the other filled with a dielectric , we can find that they will resonate at
two different frequencies. The frequency difference will be

Therefore, if we can measure this frequency difference, we can estimate the
permittivity of unknown material placed in the resonator and, thus, identify the
material.
Example 7.4: An empty Fabry-Perot resonator has a resonant
frequency of 35 GHz. Determine the thickness of a sheet of
paper that is inserted later between the plates if the resonant
frequency changes to 34.99 GHz. The separation between
plates is 50 cm. Assume that the integer n specifying the
mode doesn’t change and that there is no reflection from the
paper.
