Lecture 23-1 Review: Laws of Reflection and Refraction Law of Reflection • A reflected ray lies in the plane of incidence • The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence Medium 1 1 1 Law of refraction • A refracted ray lies in the plane of incidence • The angle of refraction is related to the angle of incidence by n2 sin 2 n1 sin 1 Snell’s Law c / ni c 1 i f f ni ni where is the wavelength in vacuum Medium 2 n2 n1 Lecture 23-2 Total Internal Reflection All light can be reflected, none refracting, when light travels from a medium of higher to lower indices of refraction. medium 2 e.g., glass (n=1.5) to air (n=1.0) sin 2 n1 1 sin 1 n2 2 1 But cannot be greater than 90 ! medium 1 In general, if sin 1 > (n2 / n1), we have NO refracted ray; we have TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION. c sin 1 n2 / n1 Critical angle above which this occurs.

It is larger at shorter wavelengths. Consequently, a light beam consisting of rays of different wavelength (e.g., sun light) will be refracted at different angles at the interface of two different media. This spreading of light is called chromatic dispersion. White light: It consists of components of nearly all the colors in the visible spectrum with approximately uniform intensities. The component of a beam of white light with shorter wavelength tends to be bent more.

Elliptic polarization Constant |E| case is called circular polarization Lecture 23-9 Polarizer: polarization by absorption An electric field component parallel to the transmission axis is passed by a polarizer; a component perpendicular to it is absorbed. transmission axis dichroism (tourmaline, polaroid,…) So if linearly polarized beam with E is incident on a polarizer as shown, E y E cos I I 0 cos 2 Zero if =/2, I0 if =0 If unpolarized beam is incident instead, I I 0 cos2 I 0 / 2 Polarization can rotate in time if linearly polarized beams of different phases are combined.
