I'm stuck and need a little help here...
When calculating the reflection coefficient of a parallel-polarized plane wave obliquely incident on a dielectric boundary a point of zero reflection occurs at the Brewster angle.
However, calculating the tranmsmission coefficient results in this:
My question is this:
At the Brewster angle, the point with zero reflection, I would expect to see 100% transmission... The calculated transmission coefficient is, however, much less than that. If the wave is not being reflected and not completely transmitted, how does one account for the incident energy of the wave?
