Excerpt from Determination of Reflected and Transmitted Fields by Geometrical Optics II
We apply the above procedure to the problem of determining the field due to an incident field having an arbitrary wawe front which impinges on an interface separating two homogeneous, isotropic media. It then becomes necessary to calculate the ratio of the infinitesimal areas at the two ends of a tube of rays where the rays of the tube are reflected from or transmitted by the interface. This area ratio is precisely the Jacobian of the mapping of one area onto the other.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781528104401_0
