To Calculate: Ratio of energy carried by the beam after the second reflection, compared to the energy carried by the beam before the first reflection.
Answer to Problem 12.10APP
Ratio of energy carried by the beam after second reflection to the energy carried by the beam before the first reflection is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
When a light beam is reflected from a glass surface, only
Calculation:
Let energy carried by the beam before the first reflection be x.
Energy carried by the beam after the first reflection =
Energy carried by the beam after the second reflection =
Ratio of energy carried by the beam after second reflection to the energy carried by the beam before the first reflection is:
Conclusion:
Ratio of energy carried by the beam after second reflection to the energy carried by the beam before the first reflection is
