Calculate the reflection coefficient for light at an air-to-silver interface (1=2=0,=0,=6107(m)-1)at optical frequencies(=41015/s).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reflection coefficient for light at an air air-to-silver interface is93% .

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the reflection coefficient for light to conducting surface: 

Write the expression for the reflection coefficient for light to conducting surface.

R=|E~0RE~0I|2=|1-~1+~|2 鈥︹ (1)

Here, is the complex quantity which is given as:

~=1v12k~2~=1v12(k2+iK2) 鈥︹ (2)

02

Determine the value ofk2 and k2:

Write the value of the wave numberk2 .

k2=222[1+(2)2+1]12

Write the value of the wave numberk2 .

K2=222[1+(2)21]12

As silver is a good conductor then>>2, .

The value ofk2 and k2will be,

k2=222(2)K2=222(2)

Hence, the value ofk2 and k2becomes,

k2=K2=22

03

Determine the reflection coefficient for light to an air to silver interface: 

Substitute k2=K2=22in equation (2).

~=1v1222(1+i)~=1v122(1+i) 鈥︹ (3)

Here,

=1v122=0c20

Substitute =1v122and =0c20in equation (3).

~=0c20(1+i)~=c02(1+i)

Substitutec=3108鈥尘/s ,=6107(m)1 , 0=4107鈥塇/mand =41015鈥塻1in the above expression.

~=(3108鈥尘/s)(6107(m)1)(4107鈥塇/尘)2(41015鈥塻1)(1+i)~=29(1+i)

Substitute i~=29(1+i)n equation (1).

R=|129(1+i)1+29(1+i)|2R=(129)2+(29)2(1+29)2+(29)2R=0.93

Therefore, the reflection coefficient for light at an air air-to-silver interface is93% .

Most popular questions from this chapter

Find all elements of the Maxwell stress tensor for a monochromatic plane wave traveling in the z direction and linearly polarized in the x direction (Eq. 9.48). Does your answer make sense? (Remember that -Trepresents the momentum flux density.) How is the momentum flux density related to the energy density, in this case?

(a) Shallow water is non-dispersive; waves travel at a speed that is proportional to the square root of the depth. In deep water, however, the waves can鈥檛 鈥渇eel鈥 all the way down to the bottom鈥攖hey behave as though the depth were proportional to 位. (Actually, the distinction between 鈥渟hallow鈥 and 鈥渄eep鈥 itself depends on the wavelength: If the depth is less than 位, the water is 鈥渟hallow鈥; if it is substantially greater than 位, the water is 鈥渄eep.鈥) Show that the wave velocity of deep water waves is twice the group velocity.

(b) In quantum mechanics, a free particle of mass m traveling in the x direction is described by the wave function

(x,t)=Aei(px-Et)

wherep is the momentum, and E=p2/2mis the kinetic energy. Calculate the group velocity and the wave velocity. Which one corresponds to the classical speed of the particle? Note that the wave velocity is half the group velocity.

Consider the resonant cavity produced by closing off the two ends of a rectangular wave guide, at z=0 and at z=d, making a perfectly conducting empty box. Show that the resonant frequencies for both TE and TM modes are given by

lmn=肠蟺(ld)2+(ma)2+(nb)2 (9.204)

For integers l, m, and n. Find the associated electric and magneticfields.

[The naive explanation for the pressure of light offered in section 9.2.3 has its flaws, as you discovered if you worked Problem 9.11. Here's another account, due originally to Planck.] A plane wave travelling through vaccum in the z direction encounters a perfect conductor occupying the region z0, and reflects back:

E(z,t)=E0[coskz-蝇t-coskz+蝇t]x^,(z>0)

  1. Find the accompanying magnetic field (in the region (z>0))
  2. Assuming B=0inside the conductor find the current K on the surface z=0, by invoking the appropriate boundary condition.
  3. Find the magnetic force per unit area on the surface, and compare its time average with the expected radiation pressure (Eq.9.64).

Suppose

E(r,,,t)=Asinr[cos(kr-t)-1krsin(kr-t)]

(This is, incidentally, the simplest possible spherical wave. For notational convenience, let(kr-t)uin your calculations.)

(a) Show that Eobeys all four of Maxwell's equations, in vacuum, and find the associated magnetic field.

(b) Calculate the Poynting vector. Average S over a full cycle to get the intensity vector . (Does it point in the expected direction? Does it fall off like r-2, as it should?)

(c) Integrate over a spherical surface to determine the total power radiated. [Answer:4A2/30c]
