On the description of light reflection

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The phase-shift is an argument of the complex component of the reflection tensor and does not represent an invariant scalar. This paper deals with the transformation properties of the phaseshift using the description of light reflection interpreted as a projection of the plane of the incident wave on the plane of the reflected one; in both these planes the bases can be chosen independently.
