Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If light traveling from glass (n=1.5) to air (n=1) hits the interface at 60 degrees, calculate both the reflectance and the transmittance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use Snell's Law to find the refracted angle.

Question 2

Consider a light beam polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence striking a boundary at Brewster's angle. What can you determine about the reflectance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Brewster’s angle involves using the refractive indices of the two media.
