Code 6.1: Emissivity of Homogeneous Medium with Planar Boundary

Code Name: emissivity_PlanarBoundary.m

Description: Code computes emissivity of a dielectric medium viewed from air (with ε1 = 1) at angle Θ1 (Fig. 6-17).

Input Variables:

  ε2 = ε2 ' - jε2 '':    Real part of dielectric constant of emitting medium (unitless)
  Θ1:    Incidence angle in medium 1 (degrees)

Output Products:

  eP (Θ1):    Emissivity at Θ1 for p-polarization
  Plot:    eP(Θ1) versus Θ1

Book Reference: Section 6-7.2 and Eq. (6.96)
