Fresnel equations
Videos
The Fresnel equations describe the reflection and transmission of light when incident on an interface between different optical media. They were deduced by French engineer and physicist Augustin-Jean

For light and other electromagnetic radiation, the plane of polarization is the plane spanned by the direction of propagation and either the electric vector or the magnetic vector, depending on the co
Fig. 3: Vertically polarized parabolic-grid microwave antenna. In this case the stated polarization refers to the alignment of the electric (E) field, hence the alignment of the closely spaced metal ribs in the reflector.
