(5.2.8)

      Equations (5.2c,d) are known as the Fresnel's Equations of the TE‐polarized waves. They describe the ratio of the reflected and transmitted electric fields to that of the incident electric field. As the reflection and transmission coefficients are complex quantities, they describe both the relative amplitude and phase shifts between the waves. The above equations show that if both media are identical; there is no reflection, Γ_⊥ = 0; and η₁ = η₂, θ₁ = θ₂, leading to total transmission τ_⊥ = 1. It is also noted that τ_⊥^TE = 1 + Γ_⊥^TE.

The total field component in the medium #1 is a summation of the incident and reflected fields, given by equations while in the medium #2, only a refracted field, given by equation (5.2.4) exists. These field equations are summarized below:

       Medium #1

(5.2.9)

       Medium #2

(5.2.10)

      In medium #1, due to the superposition of incident and reflected waves, interference occurs. Following the process used in equation (5.1.7), the computed total wave is partly traveling wave along the y‐axis, while along the negative x‐axis, it is partly standing wave. However, the minima of the standing wave do not reach zero levels as Γ_⊥ ≠ − 1, like a PEC. Although, the wave is traveling along the interface in the y‐direction, still the wave is not the surface wave, as in the x‐direction the field is not confined to the surface. Under certain conditions, discussed in subsection (5.3.2), propagation of the surface wave is possible. The surface wave is further discussed in section (7.5) of chapter 7.

      The Oblique Incidence on a Perfect Electric Conductor

If the medium #2 is a PEC, i.e. η₂ = 0, ε_r2 = ∞, the reflection coefficient is . The total field components, in the medium #1, are given below from equation (5.2.9); while in the medium #2 there is no field:

(5.2.11)

In equation (5.2.11a, b, c) harmonic‐time dependence e^jωt is suppressed. It is seen from equations (5.2.11a, b, c) that the interference produces a total wavefield moving in the y‐direction along the interface, while along the direction of the normal, i.e. in the x‐direction, it is a standing wave. It shows that the interference field pattern is traveling along the interface.

      5.2.2 TM (Parallel) Polarization Case

Figure (5.3a) shows an oblique incidence of TM^z‐polarized plane wave ray at the interface of two electrically different media. The electric field of the incident wave is in the (x‐y)‐ plane of incidence, so the incident wave has a parallel polarization as the E^inc field is parallel to the plane of incidence. The parallel polarization, or p‐polarization, is also known as the transverse magnetic (TM) polarization as the z‐oriented magnetic field is normal to the plane of incidence. It is also called π‐polarization.

      The visual inspection of the direction of field vectors in Fig (5.3a) shows that the magnetic field component H_z is normal to the (x − y)‐plane, i.e. to the plane of polarization, while the electric field components E_x and E_y are in the plane of polarization. The field components of the incident, reflected, and transmitted (refracted) TM‐polarized obliquely incident wave, as shown in Fig (5.3a), are summarized below:

      (5.2.13)

      Transmitted wave:

(5.2.14)

      The continuity of the tangential electric and magnetic field components, across the interface at x = 0, provides the following expression:

(5.2.15)

The Poynting vectors are the same as that of the TE‐polarization. The phase matching, from equation (5.2.15), again provides Snell's reflection and refractions laws as given by equation (5.2.7). However, the amplitude matching provides different expressions for the reflection (Γ_ll^TM), and transmission τ_ll^TM coefficients of the parallel polarized obliquely incident plane wave:

For normal incidence, equations (5.2.16c,d) reduce to equations (5.1.3a,b). Equations (5.2.16c,d) are known as
