Dear All,
I have a question about the optical properties of light in a metal.
I need to solve a problem.
a] Why is the phase shift in a metal neither 0 or pi?
b] And calculate the phase shift of gold with a wavelength of 514 nm?
n_real=0,5 and n_imaginary=1,85, R=0,647
For problem b I can't find the proper equation to calculate the phase shift.
I already read Optics of Hecht, but I can't find it in Hecht. They mention it on page 131 but they do not explain it.
Thanks in advance!
