Stokes relations
text:
In physical optics, the Stokes relations, named after Sir George Gabriel Stokes, describe the relative phase of light reflected at a boundary between materials of different refractive indices. They also relate the transmission and reflection coefficients for the interaction. Their derivation relies on a time-reversal argument, so they only work when there is no absorption in the system. A reflection of the incoming field (E) is transmitted at the dielectric boundary to give rE and tE (where r an
