Brewster angle for anE‐polarized electromagnetic wave interacting with a moving dielectric medium

摘要

The Brewster‐angle phenomena of total transmission has been investigated with reference to anE‐polarized electromagnetic wave interacting with a dielectric half‐space moving along the interface. Analytic conditions are derived for the existence of Brewster angles. We also discuss how the Brewster angles are modified by replacing the incident region (in which the incident electromagnetic wave is propagated) with an isotropic or a uniaxially anisotropic plasma. The Brewster angles are found to behave in a remarkably different fashion under various conditions. Numerical results for the Brewster angles, showing their dependence on the nondimensional velocity of the medium bgr;, are presented for several values of the physical parameters.
