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.
