Abstract
Laws of refraction and reflection of light are governed by the classic Fresnel formulas. These formulas are not applicable to partially coherent light. We develop a general theory of refraction and reflection of electromagnetic beams of any state of coherence. We find that coherence properties of such beams change, in general, on refraction and on reflection at a planar interface.
