Abstract

In the case of total internal reflection, the electromagnetic incident waves will be reflected back to the original medium. Whereas, based on the theory of electromagnetic fields, the incident waves do not wholly go back to the original medium, but generates refracted waves in the second medium, which causes optical tunneling on some electrons. This paper discusses the traveling of electromagnetic waves, distribution of energy and the optical tunneling on some electrons under the circumstance of total internal reflection.
