Homework #1
Problem
Consider a uniform plane wave obliquely impinging upon a plane boundary between two nonmag-
netic lossless dielectric materials. The wave travels in medium 1 and enters medium 2. The relative
permittivities of medium 1 and medium 2 are r1 and r2 , respectively. The permeabilities of medium
1 and medium 2 are both µ0 . The angles of incidence and refraction are governed by Snell’s Law:
r
sin θt β1 r1
= = . (1)
sin θi β2 r2
The reflection coefficients for perpendicular and parallel polarizations are as follows.
η2 η1
cos θt
− cos θi
Γ⊥ = η2 η1 . (2)
cos θt
+ cos θi
η2 cos θt − η1 cos θi
Γk = . (3)
η2 cos θt + η1 cos θi
In this problem, use MATLAB, Python, or other programming language to plot the angle of refraction
θt and the magnitudes of reflection coefficients for perpendicular and parallel polarizations, i.e., |Γ⊥ |
and |Γk | versus the incident angle θi for θi ranging from 0◦ to 90◦ . Plot the figures for the following
four conditions:
When using MATLAB for this homework, beside knowing how to do basic array operations in
MATLAB, you may need to use the following functions:
Type function name in help, you will see how to use it. For MATLAB basics, just search on the web
and you will find many tutorials, such as this one:

[Important] Please add the flowing line at the beginning of your code
This line would clear all the variables and close all the figures that are generated by the previous
execution.
