A wave incident on a surface at an angle 60 degree is having field intensity of 6 units. The reflected wave is at an angle of 30 degree. Find the field intensity after reflection.

A wave incident on a surface at an angle 60 degree is having field intensity of 6 units. The reflected wave is at an angle of 30 degree. Find the field intensity after reflection. Correct Answer 10.4

By Snell’s law, the relation between incident and reflected waves is given by, E1 sin θ1 = E2 sin θ2. Thus 6 sin 60 = E2 sin 30. We get E2 = 6 x 1.732 = 10.4 units.
