α(θi,n1,n2) for EM waves
Last modified by TylerJones on Jul 24, 2020, 6:28:07 PM

This equation calculates α (using θi, n1, and n2), used in calculating the amplitudes of EM waves striking an interface.  For more information and context on this equation, please see the EM waves at the interface of two insulators.

d (attenuating EM wave)
Last modified by TylerJones on Jul 24, 2020, 6:28:07 PM

This equation describes the "skin depth"1 (d) of an electromagnetic wave in a conducting medium.   The "skin depth" is how far the wave can travel before the amplitude of its electric field is reduced by a factor of 1e

k (attenuating EM wave)
Last modified by TylerJones on Jul 24, 2020, 6:28:07 PM

This equation describes the real portion (k) of the complex wavenumber1 (k~) of an electromagnetic wave in a conducting medium.  k is a spatial angular frequency, normally given the units of rad/m.  vCalc doesn't currently have any other unit options for angular spatial frequency, but feel free to request them using the "contact us" button at the bottom.
