  • Method Details

    • getPhaseVelocity

      public Real getPhaseVelocity()
      Speed of light in this medium: $v = c/n$

    • criticalAngle

      public Real criticalAngle(OpticalMedium other)
      Critical angle for total internal reflection (this -> other medium). $\theta_c = \arcsin(n_2 / n_1)$ (only if $n_1 > n_2$)
