Abstract
Using Maple, the dynamic field
plots for the instant energy flow of the transmitted waves is shown with the
normal plane wave solution for the transmitted waves. The incidence angle is
treated as the parameter so that once it outstrips the critical value, the
spontaneous transition of the view of the transmitted waves from the normal
refraction. to the total internal reflection is achieved. Thus, the rich
physical characteristics of the transmitted waves in the total internal
reflection are brought to light vividly.
