6.1 Introduction
Till now, we have studied plane waves in various medium
In real life, we have different media
Such as in classroom, we have open space (free space), walls
(bricks), window (glass), etc.
How is the behavior of plane waves when it moves from on
medium to another medium?
In other words,
let us try to explore how plane waves will behave at a media
interface

Note that γ 1 and γ 1 will have the same magnitude
since both the waves are still in the same region I,
only their direction changes
Since the Poynting vector must be negative like the
previous case of normal incidence,

Equating the tangential components of electric field
(electric field has only Ey component and it is
tangential at the interface z=0) and
magnetic field
(magnetic field has two components: Hx and Hz and
only Hx is tangential at the interface z=0)
at z=0 gives e − γ 1 x sin θi + Γ e − γ 1 x sin θ r = τ e − γ 2 x sin θt

If Ex and Hy are to be continuous at the interface z = 0
for all x,
then, this x variation must be the same on both sides of
the equations (also known as phase matching condition)

6.3.2 Parallel Polarization (TM):
In this case, electric field vector lies in the xz plane
Since the magnetic field is transversal to the plane of
incidence such waves are also called as transverse
magnetic (TM) waves
So let us start with H vector which will have only y
component,
