Natural light is randomly polarized, which means that, on average, half the light energy is polarized along
Question:
Natural light is randomly polarized, which means that, on average, half the light energy is polarized along any given direction (in the plane orthogonal to the direction of propagation) and the other half of the energy is polarized along the direction orthogonal to the first polarization direction. Hence, when treating natural light incident upon a planar boundary, we can consider half of its energy to be in the form of parallel-polarized waves and the other half as perpendicularly polarized waves. Determine the fraction of the incident power reflected by the planar surface of a piece of glass with n = 1:5 when illuminated by natural light at 70o.

I am a graduate of Maseno University, I graduated with a second class honors upper division in Business administration. I have assisted many students with their academic work during my years of tutoring. That has helped me build my experience as an academic writer. I am happy to tell you that many students have benefited from my work as a writer since my work is perfect, precise, and always submitted in due time. I am able to work under very minimal or no supervision at all and be able to beat deadlines.
I have high knowledge of essay writing skills. I am also well conversant with formatting styles such as Harvard, APA, MLA, and Chicago. All that combined with my knowledge in methods of data analysis such as regression analysis, hypothesis analysis, inductive approach, and deductive approach have enabled me to assist several college and university students across the world with their academic work such as essays, thesis writing, term paper, research project, and dissertation. I have managed to help students get their work done in good time due to my dedication to writing.
