Reflection Wave 0

Reflection of a Sinusoidal Wave on an Interface

  • Index of refraction of the medium of the incident wave (n1) > index of refraction of the medium of the transmitted wave (n2​).
  • There is no phase shift between the transmitted wave and the incident wave.
  • There is no phase shift between the reflected wave and the incident wave.
