[#6] A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency ω is incident normally on an air-dielectric interface. The dielectric is linear, isotropic, non-magnetic and its refractive index is n. The reflectance (R) and transmittance (T) from the interface are
Correct Answer

(A) $$R = {left( {frac{{n - 1}}{{n + 1}}} ight)^2},,T = frac{{4n}}{{{{left( {n + 1} ight)}^2}}}$$

[#8] Four charges are placed at the four corners of a square of side a as shown in the figure. The electric dipole moment of this configuration is
Correct Answer

(C) $$overrightarrow {x08f{p}} = - qa{x08f{hat i}} - qa{x08f{hat j}}$$

[#9] Far away from any of the resonance frequencies of a medium, the real part of the dielectric permittivity is
