  2. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    Reflection and transmittance for two dielectrics [permanent dead link ‍] – Mathematica interactive webpage that shows the relations between index of refraction and reflection. A self-contained first-principles derivation of the transmission and reflection probabilities from a multilayer with complex indices of refraction.

  3. Reflection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a reflection (also spelled reflexion) [1] is a mapping from a Euclidean space to itself that is an isometry with a hyperplane as the set of fixed points; this set is called the axis (in dimension 2) or plane (in dimension 3) of reflection. The image of a figure by a reflection is its mirror image in the axis

  4. Glide reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_reflection

    A glide reflection line parallel to a true reflection line already implies this situation. This corresponds to wallpaper group cm. The translational symmetry is given by oblique translation vectors from one point on a true reflection line to two points on the next, supporting a rhombus with the true reflection line as one of the diagonals. With ...

  5. Reflection symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_symmetry

    In mathematics, reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, or mirror-image symmetry is symmetry with respect to a reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry. In 2-dimensional space, there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3-dimensional space, there is a plane of symmetry.

  6. Bertrand's ballot theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand's_ballot_theorem

    A variation of his method is popularly known as André's reflection method, although André did not use any reflections. [7] Bertrand's ballot theorem is related to the cycle lemma. They give similar formulas, but the cycle lemma considers circular shifts of a given ballot counting order rather than all permutations.

  7. Reflection coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_coefficient

    In telecommunications and transmission line theory, the reflection coefficient is the ratio of the complex amplitude of the reflected wave to that of the incident wave. The voltage and current at any point along a transmission line can always be resolved into forward and reflected traveling waves given a specified reference impedance Z 0.

  8. Argument (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_(complex_analysis)

    Figure 1. This Argand diagram represents the complex number lying on a plane.For each point on the plane, arg is the function which returns the angle . In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and the line joining the origin and z, represented as a point in the complex plane, shown as in ...

  9. Rigid transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_transformation

    (A reflection would not preserve handedness; for instance, it would transform a left hand into a right hand.) To avoid ambiguity, a transformation that preserves handedness is known as a rigid motion, a Euclidean motion, or a proper rigid transformation. In dimension two, a rigid motion is either a translation or a rotation.
