Casio fx-CG 50: Fresnel's Equations - Polarized Light

Casio fx-CG 50:  Fresnel's Equations - Polarized Light



Introduction:  Reflection and Transmission


The object of Fresnel's Equations is to calculate the reflection and transmissions of a light wave when it hits a change of medium.   Where the change of medium occurs is known as of a plane of incidence.  The equations calculate components:  p-polarized light for light parallel to the plane of incidence, and s-polarized light for perpendicular to the plane of incidence.  


The program presented also calculates Brewster's Angle, the angle required for light to hit the plane of incidence to have no reflection.  


Simplified, the equations are:


Angle of Transmission per Snell's Law:


Θt = arcsin(n1 × sin Θi ÷ n2)


Reflection Coefficients:


r ∥ = tan(Θi - Θt) ÷ tan(Θi + Θt) 


r ⟂ = -sin(Θi - Θt) ÷ sin(Θi + Θt) 


Transmission Coefficients:


t ∥ = (2 × sin Θt × cos Θi) ÷ (sin(Θi + Θt) × cos(Θi - Θt))


t ⟂ = (2 × sin Θt × cos Θi) ÷ sin(Θi + Θt)


Brewster's Angle:


Θb = arctan(Θt ÷ Θi)

Examples


All angles are in degrees.  


Example 1:


Inputs:

n1 = 1.00293 

ΘI = 20

n2 = 1.52 (glass)


Results:

R∥ = 0.1876099408

R⟂ = -0.2221588123

T∥ = 0.7836116039

T⟂ = 0.7778411877

Brewster's Angle = 56.58227879


Example 2:


Inputs:

n1 = 1.000293 (air)

ΘI = 34

n2 = 1.333 (water)
