It occurs only when light enters a less dense medium at the critical angle.
Self-interference from a linearly polarized Â finite beam undergoing this effect will give rise to a small deviation in trajectory perpendicular Â to the original beam's path. In addition to giving rise to the Goos-Hanchen effect, this phenomenon exhibits a polarization dependent phase shift which is also seen in the difference in dispersion relations for TE and TM modes. One form of this phenomenon allows the unusual transference of energy to a medium by(*) evanescent waves and is known as the frustrated variety. The condition for the occurrence of this phenomenon can be written as the indices of refraction added in quadrature of the outer and inner materials of a fiber optic cable. It occurs only when light enters a less dense medium at the critical angle. For 10 points, identify this phenomenon in which no light is transmitted across an interface.
