- what is the meaning of complex angle of refraction?
Hi,
Refractive index can be complex.
When Snell's law is taken into account refraction angle can also be complex.
What is the meaning of the imaginary part and the real part of the refraction angle?
Which angle should I take into account when I want to follow the direction of a thermal radiation wave which is refracted (in the case of interphase between a dielectric material and an absorbing material)?
