This lecture covers the laws of reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves in transparent matter, including boundary conditions, attenuated waves, and the Snell's law. It explains how incident waves interact with dielectric slabs, leading to partial internal reflection. The lecture also delves into the wave and ray pictures of reflection and refraction, emphasizing the importance of refractive indices and polarization effects in materials.
