Abstract: | This paper studies the light propagation in metal. Using the complex wave vector, we analyze the propagation direction of light energy in a metal, and find that P and S-polarized light propagate at a different refraction angle when a beam of light passes from the air to a metallic boundary at a certain angle. Especially, P-polarized light will be refracted at a negative angle, and the direction of P-polarized light is the same side of the incident light. |
