# Exercise 5.2.1 Fresnel Cofficients

| Consider an unpolarized light beam hitting the surface of an isotropic glass with n = 1,5 at right angles (a = 0o). Hint: to avoid 0/0 situations consider small a and b with cosa, b = 1.
|  | Derive the simplified Fresnel equations as given in the script for a = 0o
|  | How much of the light will be reflected?
|  | What is the phase relation between incoming, reflected and transmitted light?
|  | How does the beam leave the crystal (Intensity and polarization)
|  | Now consider these questions for some polarization of the incoming light.
