Abstract
It is assumed that the light incident upon the first opening of a slit between various metals is diffracted in the usual manner, and finally emerges from the far end of the slit after repeated reflections. The reflecting coefficients of the various metals considered are calculated for the proper angles of incidence from a knowledge of the index of refraction of the metal, and from its coefficient of absorption. In view of the fact that the coefficients of reflections for light possessing an electric vector perpendicular are much larger than for light with the electric vector parallel to the plane of incidence, there will be partial polarization of the emergent light.
