Angle-Dependent Fresnel (s & p) calculator

s- and p-polarized reflectance/transmittance at any incidence angle.

Category: Materials

Formula: rs, rp from cosθi, cosθt · R = |r|²

Inputs

InputParameterUnitDefault
n1n11
n2n21.5
Angle θithdeg45

Result with the default inputs

  • Rs: 9.201 %
  • Rp: 0.847 %
  • Ravg: 5.024 %

Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/angle-dependent-fresnel-s-p?n1=1. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
