For the given incidence of plane wave, we have the transmitting angle
qt = 19.2c
From Snell’s law, we know
n1 sin qi = n2 sin qt
c m1 e1 sin qi = c m2 e2 sin qt ...(1)
For the given interfaces, we have
m1 = m2 = 1
e1 = 1, e2 = 4.5
So, from Eq. (1)
sin qi = 4.5 sin 19.2
or, qi . 45c
Now, the component of Evi can be obtained as
Evi = _Eox avx - Eoz avz i e-jbk (observed from the shown figure)
Since, the angle qi = 45c so,
Eox = Eoz = Eo

Therefore, v

So, k = x+z

Substituting it in equation (1), we get

So, it is clear that wave is propagating in the direction (- 3ax + 4ay).
Since, the wave is incident on a perfectly conducting slab at x = 0 . So, the

i.e. Er = (- 1) Ei =- 8ax - 6ay - 5az

We know that for a monopole its electric field varies inversely with r 2 while its
potential varies inversely with r . Similarly for a dipole its electric field varies
inversely as r 3 and potential varies inversely as r 2 .
In the given expression both the terms a _ r1 + r1 i are present, so this potential is
-1 -2
due to both monopole & dipole.

In TE mode Ez = 0 , at all points within the wave guide. It implies that electric
