Field vectors and propagation directions for linear-polarized plane EM waves in a non-magnetic birefringent crystal.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Field vectors (E,D,B,H) and propagation directions (ray and wave-normal) for linear-polarized plane electromagnetic waves in a non-magnetic birefringent crystal. The plane of vibration, containing both electric vectors (E & D) and both propagation vectors, is sometimes called the "plane of polarization" by modern authors. Fresnel's "plane of polarization", traditionally used in optics, is the one containing the magnetic vectors (B & H) and the wave-normal. Malus's original "plane of polarization" was the one containing the magnetic vectors and the ray.

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
