Electromagnetic radiation summary

In summary In diffraction of any form of electromagnetic radiation by a regularly repeating series of identical objects (e.g., a series of slits). 

Electromagnetic Radiation and Its Effects on Our Everyday Lives Summary Key Terms... 

Some of the basic facts of optics pertaining to ellipsometry will be presented briefly in this and the following subsections. Detailed treatment of the optical principles and the derivation of the equations for the reflection and the refraction of light can be found in standard textbooks on optics or electromagnetic radiation. A short summary of optical principles for ellipsometry was presented in a previous review on ellipsometric optics with special reference to electrochemical systems by the present author. ... 

In summary, due to the resonances or the formation of the evanescent wave, the electromagnetic field of the incident radiation is dramatically modified by the solid surface. As a result, the electric fields deviate from unity in an ultrathin film depending on the geometry of the experiment and the optical properties of the material.
