Question

Light of 600 nm wavelength in air strikes the surface of a piece of glass (n=1.57) at 45°. Setup

your coordinate system so that the interface is in the x-y plane (z=0) and the plane of incidence is

x-z plane (y=0), as shown in the figure (and used in class). The electric field of the incident light

is in x-z plane (a p wave) with an amplitude 25 V/m. Write the wave equations for the incident,

reflected and transmitted waves.
