12th Class Physics EM Waves

  • question_answer 16)
        A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave given as  is incident normally on a perfectly reflecting infinite wall at  = a. Assuming that the material of the wall is optically inactive, the reflected wave will be given as (a) (b) (c) (d)

    Answer:

        (b) When a wave is reflected from denser medium, the reflected wave is without change in type of wave but with a change in phase by 180° or re radian. Therefore, for the reflected wave we use and additional phase of re in the incident wave. The incident em wave isThe reflected em wave is
