Physics · Electromagnetic Waves
Consider an electromagnetic wave incident at the planar interface between two homogeneous dielectric media with dielectric constants ε1 and ε2. Assuming ε2 > ε1 and no free charges on the surface, the magnitudes of the electric field vector |E| and displacement vector |D| near the interface inside the media satisfy which of the following conditions?
- 1|E2| > |E1| and |D2| > |D1|
- 2|E2| |D1|✓
- 3|E2| > |E1| and |D2| < |D1|
- 4|E2| < |E1| and |D2| < |D1|
Correct answer
|E2| |D1|
