9781528104401: Determination of Reflected and Transmitted Fields by Geometrical Optics II (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book builds upon the principles of geometrical optics to analyze and evaluate the field intensity, phase, and polarization of light waves. The author extends the theory of ray tracing to incorporate the effects of wavefronts, demonstrating the behavior of light as it interacts with an interface between two distinct media. By meticulously determining the area ratio at transition points, the book provides a comprehensive framework for calculating the amplitude of reflected and transmitted light. This innovative approach offers valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in optics, acoustics, and related fields, deepening our understanding of light's propagation and behavior.
