(a) What fractions of the input power are in the TE and TM components, respectively,
of the input wave?
(b) What fraction of the incident wave power is transmitted?
(b)
When light is incident on an interface between two materials with different index of
refraction, the angle of the refracted ray depends on the wavelength. However, the angle
of the reflected ray does not depend on the wavelength at all. Explain why this happens.
