A study has been made ofthe phenomenon of total internal reflection with the possibility in mind of applying it to the study of the spectra of surfaces of optically transparent materials, particularly semiconductors. It is found that the radiation penetrates the surfaces into the rarer medium to a depth predicted by Maxwell’s theory and that this radiation is sensi-tive to molecular absorption on the surface. The degree ofinteraction on each reflection is comparable to that observed for a single transmission if the film thickness is equal to or less than the penetration depth. Since many total internal re-flections can be used without power loss, this technique should be a sensitive one in the study of the chemistry of surfaces of optically transparent materials and of thin films which can be deposited on optically more dense and transparent dielectrics.
