Question: A vacuum wave E 0 (r, t) = xE 0 exp[i(k y y + k z z t)] strikes a perfectly conducting surface. (a)
A vacuum wave E0(r, t) = x̂E0 exp[i(kyy + kzz − ωt)] strikes a perfectly conducting surface.
(a) Write down the total electric field E which exists above the surface when the latter is defined by z = 0.
(b) To the field E found in part (a), add a linear combination of plane waves E'such that E + E' satisfies
the boundary conditions at a corrugated surface z = a sin(2πx/d) for the case when ωa/c << 1.
(c) Show that, if the incident angle is sufficiently close to grazing, E' decreases exponentially from the surface into the vacuum.
