The Goos–Hänchen effect is a phenomenon observed in the field of optics and wave physics, particularly in the context of total internal reflection. It describes the lateral displacement of a light beam when it reflects off the boundary between two different media at an angle greater than the critical angle. When a light wave hits the interface between two media (like air and glass) at an angle greater than the critical angle, it undergoes total internal reflection.
