Snell’s Law & Dielectrics

Check out my mathematica file devoted to ‘Snell’s law for dielectrics’. See what happens when angle of incidence , or the properties of the dielectrics are changed! And it’s all just one click away.

Here is my mathematic simulation for Snell’s Law.

“Snell’s Law for Dielectrics”

Here is a link to my Mathematica simulation exploring eq. 4.86 in Griffiths, or “Snell’s Law for Dielectrics.” I plotted the equation for several incident angles in three cases: equal permittivites, e1>e2, and e1<e2. It seems that there is no analogous critical angle/total internal reflection in the dielectric version of Snell’s law.
