Refraction and Reflectance: Understanding the Interaction of Light with Different Media, Slides of Analytical Chemistry

An in-depth analysis of the reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves at the boundary between two media with different refractive indices. Topics covered include specular reflection, reflectance, critical angle, polarization, and absorption and emission. The document also discusses the importance of these concepts in various fields such as refractometers and fiber optics.

EM is said to be unpolarized if its electric Polarization

equal amplitude in all directionvectors and magnetic vectors occur with

Linearly polarized light oscillates in one

plane only as it moves through space
