10.8 Reflection of a plane wave
at normal incidence

When a plane wave from one medium meets a different medium, it

is partly reflected and partly transmitted.

The proportion of the incident wave that is reflected or transmitted

depends on the parameters (ε,μ,σ) of the two media involved.

Normal incidence (plane wave is normal to the boundary) and

oblique incidence will be studied.

12
Reflection of a plane wave at normal incidence
Suppose a plane wave propagating along the +z direction is incident
normally on the boundary z=0 between medium 1 (z<0) characterised
by ε1,μ1,σ1 and medium 2 (z>0) characterised by ε2,μ2,σ2.

13
Reflection of a plane wave at normal incidence
Incident Wave
(E i ,H i ) is traveling along +a z in medium 1.
Assume the electric and megnetic filed (in phasor form) as follows:
Eis ( z )  Ei 0e  1z a x , then Ei 0 is magnitude of

Ei 0 the incident electric


H is ( z )  H i 0e  1z a y  e  1z a y field at z=0

16
Reflection of a plane wave at normal incidence
Field in medium 1: E1  E i  E r , H1  H i  H r
Field in medium 2: E 2  E t , H 2  Ht

 Since the waves are transverse, E and H fields are entirely


tangential to the interface.
 Applying the boundary conditions at the interface z  0:
(E1t =E 2t and H1t =H 2t )
then :
E i (0)  E r 0 (0)  E t 0 (0)  Ei 0  Er 0  Et 0

H i (0)  H r (0)  H t (0)   Ei 0  Er 0  

Reflection of a plane wave at normal incidence
From the last two equations:
2  1
Er 0  Ei 0
2  1
Er 0 2  1
 Reflection Coefficient =  , or Er 0  Ei 0
Ei 0 2  1

and Et 0  Ei 0
2  1
Et 0 22
 Transmission Coefficient  =  , or Et 0   Ei 0
Ei 0 2  1
Note that:
1. 1+  
2. Both  and  are dimensionless and may be complex.
( and  are real for lossless media, and complex for lossy media)

Reflection of a plane wave at normal incidence
When medium 1 is a perfect dielectric (lossless , σ1=0), and
medium 2 is a perfect conductor (σ2=∞):

For conductor  = 450

η2= 0 → Γ=-1 → τ=0


The wave is totally reflected and there is no transmitted wave
(E2 = 0).
The totally reflected wave combines with the incident wave to
form a standing wave.
A standing wave "stands" and does not travel; it consists of two
travelling waves (Ei and Er) of equal amplitudes but in opposite
directions. 19
Reflection of a plane wave at normal incidence

Thus E1 =Re E1s e jt ,  or E1 =2 Ei 0 sin 1z sin t a x

Similarly, it can be shown that: H1 = cos 1z cost a y

η1 and η2 are real and so are Γ and τ.
There is a standing wave in medium 1 but there is also a
transmitted wave in medium 2. (incident wave is partly reflected
and partly transmitted).
However, the incident and reflected waves have amplitudes that
are not equal in magnitude.

where a Ei  a Hi  a ki  a x  a z  a y and Eio =1 H io =10o

Example 10.9

Given a uniform plane wave in air as

Ei =40 cos( t   z )a x + 30 sin( t   z )a y V/m


(a) Find H i
(b) If the wave encounters a perfectly conducting plate normal
to the z axis at z = 0, find the reflected wave Er and H r .
(c) What are the total E and H fields for z  0 ?
(d) Calculate the time-average Poynting vectors
for z  0 and z  0.

31
Example 10.9 -solution
Solution
(a) This is similar to the problem in Example 10.3.
We may treat the wave as consisting of two waves Ei1 and Ei 2 where
Ei =40 cos( t   z )a x , Ei 2 = 30 sin( t   z )a y
At atmospheric pressure, air has  r = 1.0006  1.
Thus air may be regarded as free space.

Let H i  H i1  H i 2
H i1  H i1o cos( t   z )a H1
Ei1o 40 1
H i1o   
o 120 3
a H1  a k  a E  a z  a x  a y

Hence H i1 = cos( t   z )a y

Example 10.9 -solution
Similarly,
H i 2 =H i 2 o sin( t   z )a H 2
where
Ei 2 o 30 1
H i 2o   
o 120 4
a H 2  a k  a E  a z  a y  a x
Hence

Hi 2 =  sin( t   z )a x

and
1 1
H i  H i1  H i 2   sin( t   z )a x + cos( t   z )a y mA/m
4 3
This problem can also be solved using Method 2 of Example 10.3.

(b) Since medium 2 is perfectly conducting,

that is   1 ,  = 0
showing that the incident E and H fields are totally reflected.

Example 10.10
An EM wave travels in free space with the
electric field component

Es = 100e j(0.866y+0.5z) a x V/m


Determine
(a)  and l
(b) The magnetic field component
(c) The time average power in the wave

51
Example 10.10 -solution
(a) Comparing the given E with

Es = Eo e =Eo e ax
it is clear that
k x  0 , k x  0.866 , k z  0.5
k  k x 2  k y 2  k z 2  (0.866) 2  (0.5) 2  1

Example 10.11
A uniform plane wave in air with
E = 8 cos (t  4 x  3z ) a y V/m
is incident on a dielectric slab (z  0) with r  1 ,  r  2.5 ,  =0.
Find
(a) The polarization of the wave
(b) The angle of incidence
(c) The reflected E field
(d) The transmitted H field

54
Example 10.11 - solution
(a) From the incident E field, it is evident that the propagation vector is

k i  4a x  3a z  ki  5   o o 
c
Hence,  =5c=15 108 rad/s

A unit vector normal to the interface (z = 0) is a z .


The plane containing k and a z is y = constant, which is the xz-plane,
the plane of incidence. Since Ei is normal to this plane, we have
perpendicular polarization (similar to Figure 10.17).

Example 10.11 - solution

(b) from the figure, tani    i  53.13o

Alternatively, we can obtain  i from the fact that i
is the angle between k and a n , that is,
cosi  ak .an

or i  53.13o

56
Example 10.11 - solution
(c) Let Er  Ero cos(t  k r .r )a y
which is similar to form to the given Ei . The unit vector a y is chosen in
view of the fact that the tangential component of E must be continuous
at the interface. From the Figure:
k r  k rx a x  k rz a z
k rx  k rsin r , k rz  k r cos r
But  r = i and k r =ki = 5
because both k r and ki are in
the same medium. Hence
k r  4a x  3a z

57
Example 10.11 - solution
To find Er 0 , we need t . From Snell's law
n1 c 11 sin 53.13o
sint  sin i  sin i 
