For reflection and transmission at oblique incidence, the Fresnel equations are (assuming polarization in the plane of incidence; non-conducting, linear medium):
where are the incident, reflected, and transmitted amplitudes respectively, and
What happens at grazing incidence at incident angle θi = θB, θB being the Brewster's angle?
(i) Calculate the reflected and transmitted intensities and show that R + T = 1.
(ii) The index of refraction of diamond is 2.42. Assume μ1 = μ2 = μ0 at the air-diamond interface. Assume polarization in the plane of incidence and calculate (a) Brewster angle and (b) the crossover angle at which reflected and transmitted amplitudes are equal.
