4 Source Spectral Characteristics From Elachi,

5 Reflection Snell s Law Incident Wave Reflected Wave Air θ i θ s k i sinθ i k s sinθ s Surface Interface k t sinθ t ε θ t Transmitted Wave Boundary conditions require the same phase velocity along the interface: ω k i sinθ i = ω k s sinθ s = ω k t sinθ t θ i = θ s sinθ i = ε sinθ t 3-5

6 Reflection Reflection Coefficient From Maxwell s equations, one finds that e=3, Rh e=3, Rv e=80, Rh e=80, Rv R h 2 = cosθ ε sin 2 2 θ cosθ + ε sin 2 θ R v 2 = 2 2 εcosθ ε sin θ 0.2 cos + sin 0 2 ε θ ε θ Incidence Angle 3-6

7 Reflection Brewster Angle For vertical polarization there is a special angle at which there is no reflection. This happens when tan θ = n = ε r This angle is called the Brewster angle. Typically used in gas lasers to allow oscillation in only one of the two polarizations Dielectric Constant 3-7

8 Reflection Restrahlen Effect At normal incidence, the reflection coefficient becomes R h = R v = n 1 n + 1 = n r 1+ in i n r + 1+ in i The magnitude squared is R R 2 ( ) n i ( ) n i = n 1 r n r +1 Near an absorption line n i >> n r R 2 = 1 ν 0 ν 3-8

9 Scattering by Particles Spheres From Radar Cross Section Handbook, by Ruck, et al.,

10 Reflection from Rough Particulate Surface R ν 0 ν 3-10

11 Reflectivity Minnaert Law In the general case of natural surfaces, the reflectivity is modeled by empirical expressions The Minnaert law models the reflection as Bcosθ s = B 0 ( cosθ i cosθ s ) κ B = Apparent surface brightness B 0 = Brightness of ideal reflection κ = Darkening parameter θ i,θ s = Incidence and scattering angles For a Lambertian surface κ = 1 B = B 0 cosθ 3-11

12 Diffraction Gratings θ d d k d = kd sinθ = n2π d λ = n sinθ 3-12

13 Vibrational Processes In a molecule with N atoms, there are 3N possible modes of motion since each atom has 3 degrees of freedom Of these, 3 constitute translation and 3 constitute rotation of the molecule as a whole The remaining 3N-6 constitute independent type of vibrations Each mode corresponds to a classical frequency ν The energy levels are 1 E = n + h n N h N ν ν Fundamental tones occur when only one is 1 Overtones occur when only one is an integer > 1 Combination tones are combinations of fundamental and overtones n i n i 3-13

14 H 2 O Molecule O O H H O λ 2 = 6.08µ H H H H λ 1 = µ λ 3 = µ Overtone : 2ν 3 λ = 1. 45µ Combination Tone : ν = ν 2 + ν 3 λ = 1.87µ 3-14

23 Depth of Penetration The solution to the wave equation is E = Ae i( kr ωt + φ) When the medium is absorbing, the index of refraction is n = n r + in i k = n r k 0 + in i k 0 and the wave equation solution is E = Ae i( kr ωt+φ ) = ( Ae ik ( 0 n rr ωt +φ ))e k 0 n i r This equation shows an exponentially decreasing field. The penetration depth is d = 1 2n i k 0 = λ 4πn i 3-23
